When Anand asked her questions during the event, he showed photos of Rashmika’s pet dog alongside Vijay’s pet dog and asked which was her favorite. Rashmika replied, “Ara (my pet dog) is my first baby, and Smart (Vijay’s pet dog) is my second baby.” When Anand teased her further by asking who her favorite co-star was, Rashmika jokingly said, “You’re my family; how can you put me on the spot like this?” When fans started chanting “Rowdy, Rowdy,” Rashmika smiled and indirectly acknowledged Vijay as her favorite. https://twitter.com/GulteOfficial/status/1795136777625403525 Vijay Admits to Dating In a recent promotion for his music album Saahiba, Vijay Deverakonda made intriguing comments about his relationship status.

'He's Seen Twice as Much Hatred': Trivikram's Powerful Defense of Vijay Deverakonda Goes Viral; 'Pelli Choopulu' Combo Returns!
Vijay Deverakonda, one of the most popular young heroes in Tollywood, enjoys unwavering fan admiration regardless of hits and misses. His rise to stardom was fueled by successful films such as 'Arjun Reddy,' 'Taxiwaala,' and 'Geetha Govindam.' However, he has been struggling with a lack of recent hits, with his last three films performing poorly at the box office. This has led to increased trolling and criticism. Recently, during a film event, director Trivikram made intriguing comments about Vijay Deverakonda, which have gone viral in Tollywood and on social media. "He has seen both adoration and hatred," At the pre-release event of Dulquer Salmaan's latest movie 'Lucky Bhaskar,' directed by Venky Atluri and set to release on October 31, Vijay Devarakonda and Trivikram were the chief guests. Trivikram praised the acting prowess of both Vijay Deverakonda and Dulquer Salmaan, calling them the great actors of this generation. He also mentioned his personal admiration for Vijay, stating, "Vijay has seen much love. But he has seen twice as much hatred. There's a line in Bal Gangadhar Tilak's novel 'The Night of Amrit' that says 'he is a great fighter.' This fits Vijay Deverakonda perfectly. Our boy is a true warrior." This comment has since become a sensation on the internet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhzeAy5OUl8 "Controversy if Khalnayak is called a flop," Vijay Deverakonda also spoke at the 'Lucky Bhaskar' pre-release event, making impactful remarks about director Trivikram. He reminisced about receiving his first paycheck from Sithara Entertainments, presented by Trivikram after the hit movie 'Pelli Choopulu,' during which Trivikram predicted his future stardom. Vijay called meeting Trivikram a significant moment in his life, expressing his admiration for Trivikram’s films like 'Manmadhudu,' 'Nuvvu Naaku Nachchaav,' and 'Jalsa.' He also stated that 'Athadu' and 'Khaleja' are among his favorites, and humorously remarked that he would fight anyone who calls 'Khaleja' a flop. https://twitter.com/oneindiatelugu/status/1850807211817369676 "Dulquer and Vijay Multistarrer," Vijay Deverakonda noted that he attended the 'Lucky Bhaskar' event for his "brother" Dulquer Salmaan. He reminded the audience of their collaboration in movies like 'Kalki' and 'Mahanati,' although they did not share scenes. He revealed that a director once considered making a multistarrer with him and Dulquer, and they even discussed the story together in Chennai, but the film never materialized. Vijay expressed hope that they might work together in the future, exciting the audience. https://twitter.com/ihsan21792/status/1850579970093129862 "Pelli Choopulu Combo Repeat," Vijay Deverakonda’s breakthrough film 'Pelli Choopulu,' directed by young director Tharun Bhascker, needs no special introduction for its success. However, the duo hasn't collaborated on another project since. Now, there's strong buzz about a new movie in the works under Tharun Bhascker’s direction with Vijay as the lead. It's said that Vijay has already heard the story and has agreed to the project, which will feature Tharun’s signature style of comedy along with action. Meanwhile, Vijay is currently involved in 'VD12,' an action thriller directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. "Vijay’s Future Projects!"

VD 12: Vijay Deverakonda Chilling in Sri Lanka, Viral Video of Him Steering a Boat!
Vijay Deverakonda is one of the popular young heroes in Tollywood who has made a name for himself without any film background. He became an overnight star with the movie ‘Arjun Reddy’. His subsequent successes with 'Pelli Choopulu', 'Taxiwaala', and 'Geetha Govindam' secured his place in the Telugu film industry. However, his recent movies 'Liger', 'Kushi', and 'Family Star' did not do well at the box office. Currently, there are high hopes for his ongoing project 'VD12'. Vijay is currently in Sri Lanka shooting for 'VD12' and is having a chill time there. Vijay Chilling While Steering a Boat! The movie 'VD 12', a Vijay Deverakonda-Gowtam Tinnanuri combo, is currently being shot at a brisk pace in Sri Lanka. Vijay is working hard for his role in this new look for the movie while also enjoying his downtime. Videos of Vijay enjoying a boat ride in the waters have gone viral online. He shared a video of a sunset boat ride on his Instagram account, which has been widely shared and celebrated by his fans for his boat driving skills. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vijay Deverakonda (@thedeverakonda) The Movie Will Be in Two Parts... Producer Nagavanshi recently spoke about 'VD 12', mentioning that the movie will be released in two parts. "I am not taking any risks with Vijay Deverakonda’s film. The content justifies two parts, and based on the outcome of the first part, we will proceed with the second," he said, confident of a hit. This is the first time a Vijay Deverakonda film will be made in two parts, as all his previous films were single installments. If all goes as planned, fans might see sequels in Vijay's career too. Competition with Pawan! With the announcement of the release date of 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' on Monday (September 23), a box office clash between Pawan and Vijay seems likely. 'VD 12' is set to release next year on March 28, the same day as 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu'. Fans of Vijay are gearing up for a big fight at the box office against a big star like Pawan. The producers close to Pawan, Sitara Entertainments, are producing 'VD 12', which might not push them to reschedule. Industry insiders speculate that it is unlikely for 'VD 12' to find a new release date given the circumstances. Vijay’s Future Projects! Currently, Vijay Deverakonda has a couple of exciting projects in hand besides 'VD 12'. Post 'Family Star', he is set to work on another project produced by Dil Raju and directed by Ravikiran Kola. Additionally, he is undertaking another project under the direction of Rahul Sankrityan, which is expected to be a period drama set in the Rayalaseema backdrop. Rashmika Mandanna is rumored to be cast opposite Vijay in this film.

Nani and Vijay Deverakonda: Battling Nepotism in Tollywood's Tier 2
Nepotism has always been a hot topic in the film industry. Following the tragic demise of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, the debate around nepotism intensified. There's a widespread belief that nepotism bars opportunities for outsiders as industry heirs dominate the space. Nepotism has become commonplace, and Tollywood is no exception. It's often said that, after Bollywood, our industry has a high number of heroes from film families, leaving actors like Nani, Vijay Deverakonda, Nithiin, Adivi Sesh, Sharwanand, and Gopichand categorized as 'Tier 2' heroes. But how much truth is there to this? Are they truly unable to succeed because of nepotism? Let's find out in this special report. What Exactly is 'Tier 2'? Generally, in every industry, actors are classified into two or three tiers based on their popularity. In Tollywood, names like Prabhas, Ram Charan, Jr NTR, Allu Arjun, Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, Chiranjeevi, and Balakrishna are considered 'Tier 1' heroes. They create a festive atmosphere in theaters upon the release of their films, recovering about 30% to 50% of the budget on the first day itself due to their massive fan following. Tier 2 heroes, as previously mentioned, including Nani, Vijay Deverakonda, Nithiin, Ram Pothineni, Naga Chaitanya, and Gopichand, may lag slightly behind in terms of remuneration, fan base, and budget of the films. Despite competing with top-tier heroes and being active in the industry, their films' collections tend to be limited. Unseen by Star Directors! Star directors like Rajamouli, Trivikram, Sukumar, and Koratala Siva prefer working with top-tier heroes, which, fans argue, does injustice to stars like Vijay Deverakonda and Nani. The exclusion by star directors reportedly prevents these actors from achieving pan-Indian success. Even though they release films with new directors at a pan-India level, they don't achieve the expected results. Hero Nani faced this with his project 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' planned for a pan-India release but still not released in Hindi. Fans suggest that despite having talent, the lack of star power beyond Tollywood is a disadvantage for Nani. Are Stories Failing Too? A great cast cannot save a film if the story fails. Whether a film is a success or a failure largely depends on the story. Fans are questioning whether 'Tier 2' heroes are choosing their scripts wisely. Recent films like Ram Pothineni's 'Double iSmart', Ravi Teja's 'Mr Bachchan', Nithiin's 'Extraordinary Man', and Gopichand's 'Rambanam' have left fans puzzled over why these actors accepted these projects. With big scripts mostly going to top-tier heroes, 'Tier 2' actors have to settle for what's left, some commentators feel. Nepotism vs Talent! The notion that only heirs in the film industry can succeed is a myth. If that were true, every offspring from major film families would become a star hero. No matter the background, without acting talent, longevity in the industry is impossible, as many heirs have demonstrated. Actors like Nani, Vijay Deverakonda, Ravi Teja, Siddhu Jonnalagadda, Adivi Sesh, and Naveen Polishetty have made their mark without any significant background, solely based on their talent. A significant success for Nani could propel him to 'Tier 1', fueling speculations among fans. The Fault Lies in the Audience! In a past interview, actors Rana and Nani made interesting comments about nepotism. Rana highlighted the unseen pressures and responsibilities that come with inheritance, stating that nepotism only helps to an extent, and without talent, one cannot survive in the industry. Nani, addressing the role of nepotism in cinema, mentioned that it's not industry insiders but the audience that fosters nepotism. He pointed out the disparity in audience size between his debut and that of actor Charan, questioning the audience's role in perpetuating nepotism.

Vijay's 'The Goat' Nears ₹300 Crore Mark with Impressive Box Office Performance
Tamil star hero Vijay stars in the latest action thriller "The Goat" (The Greatest Of All Time), directed by Venkat Prabhu. Meenakshi Chaudhary is the heroine, with Sneha, Laila, Prashanth, and Prabhudeva playing key roles. The film, featuring de-aging technology, marks Vijay's last movie before his rumoured entry into politics, which has spiked expectations. However, it was released worldwide on Thursday, September 5. In Telugu-speaking regions, the film received mixed reviews, whereas in Tamil Nadu, it particularly captivated Vijay's fanbase and garnered a hit talk. On its first day, the movie grossed over Rs. 120 crore. Now, let’s see how the weekend collections shaped up. How Much Did The Weekend Collections Amount To? Vijay’s "The Goat" (The Greatest Of All Time) lived up to expectations at the box office, grossing Rs. 282.5 crore worldwide in the first four days, narrowly missing the Rs. 300 crore club. However, it set a record as the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year. Dhanush's recent film 'Raayan' crossed lifetime gross earnings of Rs. 154 crore within the first two days and set this feat. Notably, 'The Goat' grossed Rs. 106.40 crore in Tamil Nadu alone. In the two Telugu-speaking states, it collected Rs. 10.10 crore, Rs. 21.1 crore in Karnataka, Rs. 10.4 crore in Kerala, and Rs. 13.9 crore in the rest of India. Overseas, the film fetched around Rs. 120.15 crore according to trade estimates. Currently, the film is surging towards the Rs. 300 crore club. What’s The Film Like? Director Venkat Prabhu’s storyline doesn’t bring anything new to the table. Movies featuring a hero working in defense and the villain raising the hero’s son only to turn him against his father have been quite common. However, the scenes written about the son’s revenge seem interesting. The first half is mostly spent introducing the hero and other characters, with the story unfolding predictably until the pre-interval. The interval scene sets up an intriguing second half. Though the second half also largely unfolds as expected, the director successfully crafted an engaging climax. The twists in the second half will surprise the audience. The film’s comedy and dialogues are deeply infused with Tamil elements, which might not appeal as much to the Telugu audience. However, for Vijay's fans, this film is sure to be a treat. What's the Story? Gandhi (Vijay), a special anti-terrorism squad officer, conducts various successful missions with his teammates Sunil (Prashant), Ajay (Ajmal), and Kalyan Sundaram (Prabhu Deva). However, he keeps his job a secret from his wife Anu (Sneha). During one mission abroad, his five-year-old son dies. Believing her husband to be responsible, Anu distances herself from Gandhi. Distraught, Gandhi leaves the force. Years later, on a trip to Moscow, he encounters his son Jeevan (Vijay), whom he thought was dead, alive. Overjoyed, he brings him back to India. From then on, Gandhi’s acquaintances start dying one by one. Who is responsible for these deaths? How did his presumed-dead son come back? How does Gandhi stop the killings? These questions form the crux of the story.

Vijay's 'The Goat' Makes a Strong Impact with First-Day Collections Despite Mixed Reviews
Tamil superstar Vijay stars in the latest action thriller 'The Goat' (The Greatest Of All Time), directed by Venkat Prabhu. Meenakshi Chaudhary plays the leading lady, while Sneha, Laila, Prashanth, and Prabhu Deva have significant roles. This film, developed with de-aging technology, has garnered high expectations as it is rumored to be Vijay's final movie before his political entry. It was released worldwide on Thursday (September 5) and received mixed reactions in the Telugu states, but it was a hit among Vijay's fans in Tamil Nadu. Let’s see how the movie performed on its first day. Day 1 Collections Matching the high expectations, 'The Goat' (The Greatest Of All Time) raked in impressive collections on its first day. In India alone, the film is estimated to have grossed over ₹55 crores, with a net collection of ₹43 crores. Tamil Nadu alone contributed a gross of ₹38.3 crores. The Telugu states accounted for ₹3 crores and Hindi markets brought in ₹1.7 crores in gross collections. The worldwide gross is expected to surpass ₹80 crores on the first day. However, according to trade estimates, 'The Goat' could not surpass the record set by Vijay’s previous film 'Leo', which collected ₹148.5 crores on its first day. What's 'The Goat' Like? Director Venkat Prabhu’s story does not present much novelty. Movies featuring a hero working in defense sectors and villains raising the hero’s son only to use him against the hero have been seen before. However, the scenes depicting the son’s revenge feel intriguing. The first half mainly introduces the hero and other characters, progressing predictably until the pre-interval. The interval scene raises interest for the second half, which largely unfolds as expected, but the climax is crafted to captivate. The twists in the second half are sure to surprise the audience. The Tamil essence in comedy and dialogues might not appeal much to the Telugu audience, but Vijay's fans will likely find the film immensely engaging. The Plot Gandhi (Vijay), a special anti-terrorism squad officer, conducts various successful missions with his teammates Sunil (Prashant), Ajay (Ajmal), and Kalyan Sundaram (Prabhu Deva). However, he keeps his job a secret from his wife Anu (Sneha). During one mission abroad, his five-year-old son dies. Believing her husband to be responsible, Anu distances herself from Gandhi.

Vijay's 'The GOAT': A Predictable Action Drama with Strong Performances and High Expectations
Cast: Vijay, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Prabhu Deva, Prashant Thyagarajan, Kokila Mohan, Jayaram, Sneha, VTV Ganesh, Aravind Akash, Vaibhav Reddy, and others. Story and Direction: Venkat Prabhu Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja Cinematography: Siddharth Nuni Editing: Venkat Rajan Producers: Kalpathi S. Aghoram, Kalpathi S. Ganesh, Kalpathi S. Suresh Tamil star hero Vijay stars in the latest action thriller 'The GOAT' (The Greatest of All Time), directed by Venkat Prabhu. The film also features Meenakshi Chaudhary as the female lead, with important roles played by Sneha, Laila, Prashant, and Prabhu Deva. This film is notable for its use of de-aging technology. With rumors circulating that this might be Vijay's last film before entering politics, expectations for the film were quite high. How did the film turn out? How much did it captivate the audience? Did it provide another unforgettable success for Vijay or not? Let’s find out in this review. Plot Gandhi (Vijay), a special anti-terrorism squad officer, conducts various successful missions with his teammates Sunil (Prashant), Ajay (Ajmal), and Kalyan Sundaram (Prabhu Deva). However, he keeps his job a secret from his wife Anu (Sneha). During one mission abroad, his five-year-old son dies. Believing her husband to be responsible, Anu distances herself from Gandhi. Distraught, Gandhi leaves the force. Years later, on a trip to Moscow, he encounters his son Jeevan (Vijay), whom he thought was dead, alive. Overjoyed, he brings him back to India. From then on, Gandhi’s acquaintances start dying one by one. Who is responsible for these deaths? How did his presumed-dead son come back? How does Gandhi stop the killings? These questions form the crux of the story. Performances Vijay delivers a dual role, excelling as Gandhi but the young Vijay’s digitally aged look as Jeevan might feel a bit off, not entirely convincing. Vijay shines again in action sequences and emotional scenes, proving his star quality. Meenakshi Chaudhary as the heroine doesn’t have much of a role, feeling more like a guest appearance. Prashant, Ajmal, and Prabhu Deva as squad members are adequate but not outstanding. Jayaram, as the head of the squad, captivates with his performance. Sneha impresses with her acting as Gandhi’s wife. Tamil youth hero Shiva Karthikeyan makes a mark in a cameo, and Trisha excites in a special song appearance. The rest of the cast performs adequately within their roles. Direction Director Venkat Prabhu’s storyline lacks novelty. The narrative of a hero working in defense and the villain raising his son to turn against him has been seen many times before. However, the scenes detailing the son’s revenge feel engaging. The first half is mostly spent introducing the characters, and the plot progresses as expected until the pre-interval. The interval scene raises curiosity for the second half, which, although predictable, includes some twists that surprise the audience. The comedy and dialogues are deeply rooted in Tamil culture, which might not entirely appeal to the Telugu audience. However, Vijay’s fans will likely find the film quite entertaining. Technically On the technical front, the songs by Yuvan Shankar Raja are forgettable, not leaving a lasting impact. However, the background music enhances the action sequences, elevating them to another level. The graphic department could have done better, especially with Vijay’s de-aging look. Editing is competent. The production values are high, showing no compromise in terms of budget. Plus Points - Vijay’s performance - Action sequences - Climax Minus Points - Predictable plot - Slow first half Telugu.yousay.tv Rating : 2.5/5

When Titans Talk: Vijayendra Prasad’s Candid Call to Puri Jagannadh
Puri Jagannadh is one of the star directors in Tollywood. There was a time when a movie from Puri meant theaters were bustling with mass audiences and his signature dialogues would electrify the youth. However, the frenzy for Puri's films has waned recently. Blockbusters like 'Pokiri', 'Businessman', and 'Temper' have not been forthcoming. His latest film 'Liger' was a significant failure, drawing widespread criticism. Fans are longing for the return of the old Puri. In this context, it's reported that Vijayendra Prasad, a prominent writer and father of Rajamouli, has scolded Puri. Director Puri himself shared this incident. "Tell me before you make a movie" In the upcoming movie directed by Puri Jagannadh, starring Ram Pothineni, titled 'Double iSmart', an exciting event occurred during the pre-release event held in Hanamkonda on Sunday, August 11. The film is set to meet audiences on August 15. At the event, Puri shared an intriguing detail, "When a movie is a hit, many call to congratulate. I also received a call for a flop movie. It wasn’t just anybody; it was Vijayendra Prasad. He asked if he could help me. His son Rajamouli is a top director, so I wondered how I could possibly help. He then asked, 'When is your next film? Will you tell me the story whenever you make it?' I understood why he was saying this. He couldn’t bear to see directors like me fail. You all make small mistakes. So, tell me before you make a film," he said. Puri was moved by his words and said he could never forget that call made out of affection for him. However, he did not share the story with him. "I wanted to be cautious and only show him the movie," Puri said. https://twitter.com/i/status/1822878179679203353 The story must be told! Director Vijayendra Prasad, father of S.S. Rajamouli, has a profound admiration for director Puri Jagannadh. He has expressed his preference for Puri among directors in a past interview and even showcased using Puri’s photo as his mobile wallpaper. Despite this esteem, Puri recently revealed that he declined to narrate a story to Vijayendra Prasad, which has sparked intense reactions online. Netizens are questioning why Puri would not engage with the writer who provided stories for blockbuster films like 'Baahubali' and 'RRR'. They argue that Vijayendra Prasad could have identified errors in the 'Double iSmart' script, suggesting it would have been prudent for Puri to have shared the story with him to avoid risk. We need some clarity! During the 'Double iSmart' pre-release event, hero Ram Pothineni made some compelling remarks for those who stop going to theaters after seeing negative reviews. "Many of us don't respect our own opinions. If we like the biryani at a restaurant, we shouldn't doubt our taste just because others didn't like it. I enjoyed it, so I think it's good. The same goes for movies and your career. Don’t change your opinion because of others. If we always compare ourselves to others' opinions, we can’t accomplish anything. I'm telling all this because you are my people," Ram said. These energetic star's comments have been widely endorsed by the majority of netizens. https://twitter.com/i/status/1822887370594877712

VD12: Exciting News for Vijay Deverakonda Fans.. A First in His Career!
Vijay Deverakonda  is one of Tollywood's most popular young actors who became an overnight star with the film 'Arjun Reddy.' With successes like 'Pelli Choopulu', 'Taxiwaala', and 'Geetha Govindham', he secured a solid position in the Telugu film industry. However, Vijay has been facing a rough patch recently, as his last three films, 'Liger', 'Kushi', and 'Family Star', did not perform well at the box office. This makes his upcoming project, 'VD12', highly anticipated not only by Vijay but also by his fans. Producer Naga Vamshi recently made some interesting remarks about this film, turning it into a hot topic in the industry. In Two Parts... Vijay Deverakonda  is currently working on a film directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, tentatively titled 'VD 12'. Producer Naga Vamshi has spoken about the film, revealing that it will be presented in two parts. "I am not taking any risks with the Vijay Deverakonda  film. We have content sufficient for two parts, and depending on the outcome of the first, we will proceed with the second. Gowtam Tinnanuri has beautifully crafted the story. We are confident it will be a blockbuster," said Naga Vamshi. Interestingly, this is the first time any of Vijay's films are planned as a two-part series, as all his previous films were single installments. If everything goes as planned, fans might get to see sequels in Vijay's career. With 'VD 12' already under high expectations, Naga Vamshi's comments have only heightened the excitement. The Captivating First Look! The makers of 'VD12' recently released the first look poster of the film. In it, Vijay appears in a massive look. The caption intriguingly states, "Fate has called... a bloodbath awaits... a new king will rise." Moreover, the makers have announced that the film is scheduled for release on March 28 next year. They are putting significant effort into delivering a theatrical experience and have requested that leaked content not be shared. In a Dual Role...! The film unit has announced that Vijay Deverakonda  will appear as a powerful police officer in 'VD 12'. A previously released poster in a vague khaki outfit hinted at this role. However, the recently released first look shows Vijay in a local gangster persona, raising questions about whether he might be playing dual roles or if the director is presenting one character in two dimensions. Regardless, Vijay's look promises a mass festivity in theaters. Vijay's Future Projects! Aside from 'VD12', Vijay Deverakonda  has two more exciting projects lined up. After 'Family Star', producer Dil Raju is set to produce another film with Vijay, directed by Ravikiran Kola. Additionally, director Rahul Sankrityan will helm another project with Vijay set against a periodic genre backdrop in the Rayalaseema region, potentially starring Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead.

'He's Seen Twice as Much Hatred': Trivikram's Powerful Defense of Vijay Deverakonda Goes Viral; 'Pelli Choopulu' Combo Returns! Vijay Deverakonda, one of the most popular young heroes in Tollywood, enjoys unwavering fan admiration regardless of hits and misses. His rise to stardom was fueled by successful films such as 'Arjun Reddy,' 'Taxiwaala,' and 'Geetha Govindam.' However, he has been struggling with a lack of recent hits, with his last three films performing poorly at the box office. This has led to increased trolling and criticism. Recently, during a film event, director Trivikram made intriguing comments about Vijay Deverakonda, which have gone viral in Tollywood and on social media. "He has seen both adoration and hatred," At the pre-release event of Dulquer Salmaan's latest movie 'Lucky Bhaskar,' directed by Venky Atluri and set to release on October 31, Vijay Devarakonda and Trivikram were the chief guests. Trivikram praised the acting prowess of both Vijay Deverakonda and Dulquer Salmaan, calling them the great actors of this generation. He also mentioned his personal admiration for Vijay, stating, "Vijay has seen much love. But he has seen twice as much hatred. There's a line in Bal Gangadhar Tilak's novel 'The Night of Amrit' that says 'he is a great fighter.' This fits Vijay Deverakonda perfectly. Our boy is a true warrior." This comment has since become a sensation on the internet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhzeAy5OUl8 "Controversy if Khalnayak is called a flop," Vijay Deverakonda also spoke at the 'Lucky Bhaskar' pre-release event, making impactful remarks about director Trivikram. He reminisced about receiving his first paycheck from Sithara Entertainments, presented by Trivikram after the hit movie 'Pelli Choopulu,' during which Trivikram predicted his future stardom. Vijay called meeting Trivikram a significant moment in his life, expressing his admiration for Trivikram’s films like 'Manmadhudu,' 'Nuvvu Naaku Nachchaav,' and 'Jalsa.' He also stated that 'Athadu' and 'Khaleja' are among his favorites, and humorously remarked that he would fight anyone who calls 'Khaleja' a flop. https://twitter.com/oneindiatelugu/status/1850807211817369676 "Dulquer and Vijay Multistarrer," Vijay Deverakonda noted that he attended the 'Lucky Bhaskar' event for his "brother" Dulquer Salmaan. He reminded the audience of their collaboration in movies like 'Kalki' and 'Mahanati,' although they did not share scenes. He revealed that a director once considered making a multistarrer with him and Dulquer, and they even discussed the story together in Chennai, but the film never materialized. Vijay expressed hope that they might work together in the future, exciting the audience. https://twitter.com/ihsan21792/status/1850579970093129862 "Pelli Choopulu Combo Repeat," Vijay Deverakonda’s breakthrough film 'Pelli Choopulu,' directed by young director Tharun Bhascker, needs no special introduction for its success. However, the duo hasn't collaborated on another project since. Now, there's strong buzz about a new movie in the works under Tharun Bhascker’s direction with Vijay as the lead. It's said that Vijay has already heard the story and has agreed to the project, which will feature Tharun’s signature style of comedy along with action. Meanwhile, Vijay is currently involved in 'VD12,' an action thriller directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. "Vijay’s Future Projects!" Vijay Deverakonda currently has 'VD12' and two other exciting projects in hand. After 'Family Star,' producer Dil Raju is set to produce another film with Vijay, to be directed by Ravikiran Kola. Additionally, director Rahul Sankrityan will direct another project featuring Vijay, set against a royal backdrop in the Rayalaseema region, with Rashmika Mandanna rumored to be the female lead.

VD 12: Vijay Deverakonda Chilling in Sri Lanka, Viral Video of Him Steering a Boat! Vijay Deverakonda is one of the popular young heroes in Tollywood who has made a name for himself without any film background. He became an overnight star with the movie ‘Arjun Reddy’. His subsequent successes with 'Pelli Choopulu', 'Taxiwaala', and 'Geetha Govindam' secured his place in the Telugu film industry. However, his recent movies 'Liger', 'Kushi', and 'Family Star' did not do well at the box office. Currently, there are high hopes for his ongoing project 'VD12'. Vijay is currently in Sri Lanka shooting for 'VD12' and is having a chill time there. Vijay Chilling While Steering a Boat! The movie 'VD 12', a Vijay Deverakonda-Gowtam Tinnanuri combo, is currently being shot at a brisk pace in Sri Lanka. Vijay is working hard for his role in this new look for the movie while also enjoying his downtime. Videos of Vijay enjoying a boat ride in the waters have gone viral online. He shared a video of a sunset boat ride on his Instagram account, which has been widely shared and celebrated by his fans for his boat driving skills. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vijay Deverakonda (@thedeverakonda) The Movie Will Be in Two Parts... Producer Nagavanshi recently spoke about 'VD 12', mentioning that the movie will be released in two parts. "I am not taking any risks with Vijay Deverakonda’s film. The content justifies two parts, and based on the outcome of the first part, we will proceed with the second," he said, confident of a hit. This is the first time a Vijay Deverakonda film will be made in two parts, as all his previous films were single installments. If all goes as planned, fans might see sequels in Vijay's career too. Competition with Pawan! With the announcement of the release date of 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' on Monday (September 23), a box office clash between Pawan and Vijay seems likely. 'VD 12' is set to release next year on March 28, the same day as 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu'. Fans of Vijay are gearing up for a big fight at the box office against a big star like Pawan. The producers close to Pawan, Sitara Entertainments, are producing 'VD 12', which might not push them to reschedule. Industry insiders speculate that it is unlikely for 'VD 12' to find a new release date given the circumstances. Vijay’s Future Projects! Currently, Vijay Deverakonda has a couple of exciting projects in hand besides 'VD 12'. Post 'Family Star', he is set to work on another project produced by Dil Raju and directed by Ravikiran Kola. Additionally, he is undertaking another project under the direction of Rahul Sankrityan, which is expected to be a period drama set in the Rayalaseema backdrop. Rashmika Mandanna is rumored to be cast opposite Vijay in this film.

Vijay's 'The Goat' Nears ₹300 Crore Mark with Impressive Box Office Performance Tamil star hero Vijay stars in the latest action thriller "The Goat" (The Greatest Of All Time), directed by Venkat Prabhu. Meenakshi Chaudhary is the heroine, with Sneha, Laila, Prashanth, and Prabhudeva playing key roles. The film, featuring de-aging technology, marks Vijay's last movie before his rumoured entry into politics, which has spiked expectations. However, it was released worldwide on Thursday, September 5. In Telugu-speaking regions, the film received mixed reviews, whereas in Tamil Nadu, it particularly captivated Vijay's fanbase and garnered a hit talk. On its first day, the movie grossed over Rs. 120 crore. Now, let’s see how the weekend collections shaped up. How Much Did The Weekend Collections Amount To? Vijay’s "The Goat" (The Greatest Of All Time) lived up to expectations at the box office, grossing Rs. 282.5 crore worldwide in the first four days, narrowly missing the Rs. 300 crore club. However, it set a record as the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year. Dhanush's recent film 'Raayan' crossed lifetime gross earnings of Rs. 154 crore within the first two days and set this feat. Notably, 'The Goat' grossed Rs. 106.40 crore in Tamil Nadu alone. In the two Telugu-speaking states, it collected Rs. 10.10 crore, Rs. 21.1 crore in Karnataka, Rs. 10.4 crore in Kerala, and Rs. 13.9 crore in the rest of India. Overseas, the film fetched around Rs. 120.15 crore according to trade estimates. Currently, the film is surging towards the Rs. 300 crore club. What’s The Film Like? Director Venkat Prabhu’s storyline doesn’t bring anything new to the table. Movies featuring a hero working in defense and the villain raising the hero’s son only to turn him against his father have been quite common. However, the scenes written about the son’s revenge seem interesting. The first half is mostly spent introducing the hero and other characters, with the story unfolding predictably until the pre-interval. The interval scene sets up an intriguing second half. Though the second half also largely unfolds as expected, the director successfully crafted an engaging climax. The twists in the second half will surprise the audience. The film’s comedy and dialogues are deeply infused with Tamil elements, which might not appeal as much to the Telugu audience. However, for Vijay's fans, this film is sure to be a treat. What's the Story? Gandhi (Vijay), a special anti-terrorism squad officer, conducts various successful missions with his teammates Sunil (Prashant), Ajay (Ajmal), and Kalyan Sundaram (Prabhu Deva). However, he keeps his job a secret from his wife Anu (Sneha). During one mission abroad, his five-year-old son dies. Believing her husband to be responsible, Anu distances herself from Gandhi. Distraught, Gandhi leaves the force. Years later, on a trip to Moscow, he encounters his son Jeevan (Vijay), whom he thought was dead, alive. Overjoyed, he brings him back to India. From then on, Gandhi’s acquaintances start dying one by one. Who is responsible for these deaths? How did his presumed-dead son come back? How does Gandhi stop the killings? These questions form the crux of the story.
