Vijay Deverakonda is currently in the midst of promoting his upcoming movie Kushi, which is a pan-Indian romantic drama. Samantha Ruth Prabhu is the leading actress in this movie directed by Shiva Nirvana, which is scheduled to be released in theaters on September 1, 2023. During the promotions, Vijay Deverakonda said that failures will not affect superstars like Chiranjeevi and Rajinikanth. However, his comments were mistaken by Rajini fans at first, but later the misconception got cleared.
While promoting Kushi in Tamil Nadu, a journalist asked Chiranjeevi negatively. Vijay Deverakonda took advantage of the opportunity to answer the question in a polite manner. He stated that Rajinikanth and Chiranjeevi are beyond hits and flops. “Rajinikanth sir, can give 5-6 back-to-back flops, but will come back with a blockbuster like Jailer. We have to shut up and watch.”
Talking about Chiranjeevi, he affirmed that a star like Chiranjeevi might get 6–7 flops back to back, but if the right director meets his energy, he will come back with a sensation just like he did this Sankranthi with Waltair Veeeryya.
“Chiru sir changed the industry. When he came, the kind of action that was there, the kind of dance that was there, and the kind of performance that was there, all changed entirely. He inspired many people to enter the industry,” said Vijay Deverakonda.
He emphasized that people should not judge them for their successes and failures. Not only that, but he added that they deserve recognition for creating an ecosystem that allows everyone to enjoy their movies and inspires the younger generation to enter the industry.
“I feel disrespectful when people comment on senior actors. They are legends, and we need to respect them. It’s heartening to see Kamal sir back with Vikram and Rajini sir, with Jailer.”
Though his comments were taken wrongly for a while, after the full video was out everything was clear. The way he answered the question won the hearts of millions, including Chiru fans. Vijay Deverakonda is being praised by everyone for his respect towards the senior actors.
