Vijay Deverakonda


Vijay Deverakonda is one of the most widely known actors in India today. The actor who is known for his movies in the Telugu language has appealed to a mass audience across the country with his work. The actor began his career with the Telugu romantic comedy film 'Nuvvila' in 2011. However, he gained recognition and fame with the super success of 'Arjun Reddy' which was directed by debutant Sandeep Reddy Vanga.

As the actor turns a year older on May 9, we look back at some of his best films in his 12-year-long career:

Mahanati:

This Nag Ashwin directorial is Vijay Deverakonda's highest-rated film on IMDb. The film sees him play the role of a photojournalist who along with Samantha Ruth Prabhu's character chases the story of yesteryear actress Savitri. The film also stars Keerthy Suresh and Dulquer Salmaan.

Pelli Choopulu:

Directed by Tharun Bhascker, the film stars Abhay Bethiaganti, Keshav Deepak, Vijay Deverakonda and Anish Kuruvilla. A wannabe businesswoman and a happy-go-lucky guy meet each other during an arranged marriage blind date but eventually team up to start a food truck on their own.

Arjun Reddy:

This is Vijay's first big commercial hit that put him on the map. Directed by first-timer Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the film narrates the story of Arjun Reddy, a short-tempered house surgeon, who gets used to drugs and drinks when his girlfriend is forced to marry another person.

Geetha Govindam:

Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna collaborated for the first time for this sweet love story. The film narrates the story of an innocent young lecturer is misunderstood as a pervert and despised by a woman who co-incidentally turns out to be the younger sister of his brother-in-law. Eventually, differences subside and love blooms between them.

Dear Comrade:

After delivering a hit with Geeta Govindam, Vijay and Rashmika collaborated for the second time for 'Dear Comrade'. The film narrates the story of a hot-blooded student union leader who falls for a state-level cricketer but his anger management issues and violent streak threaten to derail their love story.

Taxiwala:

Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, the film stars Priyanka Jawalkar and Malavika Nair apart from Vijay Deverakonda. A job monger, Shiva ends up as a taxiwala only to realise that his ride is beyond what anyone could have expected.

Nota:

Directed by Anand Shankar, Nota stars Vijay Deverakonda, Nassar and Sathyaraj. The film sees Vijay play a character who is unaware of the world of politics but is forced to become the Chief Minister when his corrupt father resigns.
