Liger star Vijay Deverakonda won’t sign any Bollywood film after the failure of his last film?

Liger leading star Vijay Deverakonda has been saying a lot in his promotional interviews for the film. So much so that Manoj Desai of Mumbai’s iconic theater Gaiety, Galaxy and Maratha Mandir called him “arrogant” and an “anaconda”. The veteran said in a chat on Thursday that he was facing a huge loss due to advance booking and blamed it on Liger star Vijay’s statement regarding “Boycott‘. He also said that Vijay should stick to only Tamil and Telugu films and not do Bollywood films. Add to that the film’s dismal start at the box office and negative reviews from critics and audiences.

Vijay Deverakonda’s take on film flops

Yes, Vijay may not have been diplomatic or politically correct and may have unashamedly said what he really felt. But two things he said in his interviews make a lot of sense and prove that he is a wise young actor. Vijay in his interactions has said that he has accepted that the box office numbers can go either way. Talking about the scenario of the film not doing well and being a flop, Vijay said that he is young, learning and can afford to make mistakes. This goes on to say that Vijay will go all out and experiment and not buckle under the pressure of box office numbers.

The rising popularity of Vijay Deverakonda

The other thing he had to say about doing more Bollywood films after his Liger debut, we also like it. Liger may be Vijay Deverakonda’s first film in Hindi, but he is not an unknown name and face. In fact, Arjun Reddy was a rage among the Hindi masses too long before the advent of Kabir Singh. His good looks also got him noticed and he was out and about in the Mumbai circuit because of Liger. We have already seen how popular he is with many young star kids like Ananya Panday (his Liger co-star) and Janhvi Kapoor as well as Sara Ali Khan. And same is the case with his fans in the Hindi belt.

Will Vijay sign more Bollywood films?

But that doesn’t make Vijay eager to sign one film after another in Bollywood. Vijay in his interviews has admitted that he wants to go lighter and slower when it comes to Hindi films after Liger. He said he will gauge the likes and dislikes of the audience and figure out the aspects he needs to work on before taking on his next Bollywood project after Liger. So regardless of the film’s performance, Vijay has charted his future course of action and he is as wise as can be. Well, that again is the hallmark of a good actor who believes in learning and respects his audience. Liger’s opening day box office numbers might be discouraging (Rs 24.5 crores worldwide according to AndhraBoxOffice.com). The film may flop or be a success in terms of numbers, but Vijay is already a star in the making and we are sure there is no stopping him. On the work front in South Vijay has Khushi with Samantha Ruth Prabhu and JJ.
