Amidst the ongoing promotions of his upcoming movie “Kushi,” a romantic drama, Vijay Deverakonda finds himself immersed in engaging promotional activities. The movie, directed by Shiva Nirvana, stars Samantha Ruth Prabhu as the female lead and is slated for a theatrical release on September 1, 2023.
During the Tamil Nadu event of “Kushi’s” promotion, a journalist raised a question with negative connotations about Chiranjeevi. Seizing the moment, Vijay Deverakonda responded with utmost politeness. He expressed that stalwarts like Rajinikanth and Chiranjeevi transcend mere hits and misses in the world of cinema. He stated, “Rajinikanth sir might experience a string of 5-6 consecutive flops but will inevitably bounce back with a blockbuster like ‘Jailer.’ Our role is to remain silent and witness.”
Discussing Chiranjeevi, Vijay mentioned that Chiranjeevi garu might encounter a series of 6-7 flops, but when paired with a director who matches his energy, he will reemerge with a sensation, much like he did this Sankranthi.
“Chiru sir revolutionized the industry. His arrival brought about a complete transformation in the realms of action, dance, and performance. He inspired countless individuals to venture into the industry,” expressed Vijay Deverakonda.
He further conveyed that evaluating these icons solely based on their successes and failures is unjust. They deserve reverence for constructing an environment where everyone can relish their movies and motivate the younger generation to join the industry.
“I find it discourteous when people make judgments about senior actors. They are legends and merit our respect. It’s heartening to witness Kamal sir’s return with ‘Vikram’ and Rajini sir with ‘Jailer.'”
Vijay Deverakonda’s considerate response has resonated with millions, especially Chiru’s fans. His display of respect towards senior actors has garnered widespread admiration and praise.
