After making waves across the country with ‘Arjun Reddy’, young sensation Vijay Deverakonda decided to expand his market by making his debut in Bollywood too. He teamed up with Puri Jagannadh and came up with ‘Liger’. Billed as a stylish action entertainer, the film met with a disastrous result and Puri is still stuck with the issues regarding its losses. Vijay’s pan-Indian dreams got shattered and he stayed away from the public eye for quite some time before getting busy with work again.
Despite the nightmarish result, Vijay still has a lot of craze in North and it is the reason why he is still able to attract big production houses. As we know, he is currently working on ‘Khushi’ which is a romantic entertainer. ‘Ninnu Kori’ and ‘Majili’ fame Shiva Nirvana is the director of this movie while Samantha Ruth Prabhu is the heroine. Due to Sam’s health issues, the shooting has been postponed for now and there are reports that he will be making a movie with ‘Jersey’ director Gautham Thinnanuri under Dil Raju’s banner. The official news regarding this project is yet to be revealed.
There are reports that Karan Johar is still interested in making a movie with Deverakonda and he is reportedly arranging a meeting with a popular director soon. Vijay is expected to take a call about it soon. Also, SRK’s banner Red Chillies Entertainment are interested in making a movie with Vijay too. They are in search of a good romantic comedy. We need to wait and see if Vijay manages to score a hit in Bollywood any time soon or focus only on South cinema for a couple of years. The youngster is in need of a hit immediately since his last three outings were disasters. The failure of ‘Liger’ already damaged his image and his market will take a severe beating if his upcoming project fails too.
