Okay. I know this ain't exactly related to Bollywood but I gotta gush so bear with me 😆 I don't know if you guys follow this amazing guy called Vijay Deverakonda. He has been part of some really good films in the recent past (most notably Arjun Reddy which is being remade in multiple languages including Hindi). And the guy is a certified heartthrob 😆 He acts well (was kickass in Arjun Reddy, endearing in Pelli Choopulu and brilliant even in a cliched film like Geetha Govindam), looks good, is incredibly charming, has truckloads of sway on and off screen, chooses quirky films and is self made. Telugu industry is the most close knit and nepotistic industry out there and this guy has managed to make it and almost attained superstar status within a relatively short period of time. At this point, he is arguably the most exciting star down South. And I really do think the guy has it in him to become a pan India star. The only problem I see is his accent (he has the typical Hyderabadi accent) which could be an issue when he tries to speak other languages but that apart he really is the complete package 😆
I came across this recent interview yesterday and it has only managed solidify my crush (and prompted me to make this topic 😆)

His answers on his struggle, nepotism, how success has changed him (I found that response to be incredibly honest- he said the more you are successful and the less dependent you are on people, the more opinionated you can be so yes success has changed me). Anyway, to cut the long story short, I think Vijay is incredible. He is that rare outsider who just manages to make it out of blue surprising everyone out of their wits with his charm and choice of films (almost reminds me of SRK but he is obviously not there yet and they are different people). So anyone else here who can't get enough of this guy? 😆
