VD12 first look out: Vijay Deverakonda dons a cop avatar for Gowtam Tinnanuri's next

On Friday, Vijay Deverakonda released a poster for his upcoming movie VD12 that unveiled the first look. Gowtam Tinnanuri and Vijay will collaborate on the actor's upcoming Telugu movie. The actor, who featured a police officer in the poster, claimed that when he read the script and learned who would be directing his upcoming movie, which won a National Award, his "heart skipped a few beats."

A cop with his face obscured by a cloth was depicted in silhouette on the poster for Vijay's forthcoming movie, VD12. Vijay Deverakonda tweeted about it, "The Script. The Team. My next. My heart skipped a few beats when I heard this."  The words on the poster teased that the movie would be a spy thriller: "I don’t know where I belong, to tell you whom I betrayed - Anonymous spy." A flaming ship in the middle of the ocean was also depicted on the poster.

Gowtam Tinnanuri, too, shared the first look poster with a caption that read, "VD12 This one is special with @TheDeverakonda..." Producer S Naga Vamsi also tweeted, “We are not going to say that this is earth-shattering or MASSive or HUUUGE but this is something spectacular.”

More information about the VD12 shoot is anticipated to be released in the upcoming weeks, and it is scheduled to start soon.

Despite having a worldwide opening of $25 crore, Vijay's most recent film, Liger, which was marketed as a pan-Indian effort, tanked at the box office and vanished without a trace. Vijay made his Bollywood debut with the movie. The failure of Liger led to the cancellation of Vijay's movie Jana Gana Mana. Puri Jagannadh, who had also directed Liger, was slated to helm it. Vijay will thereafter appear with Samantha Ruth Prabhu in the upcoming Telugu movie Khushi. In 2023, the movie is scheduled for release.
