It’s always interesting to listen to stories the veteran superstars have to say about their journey, struggles and rise to stardom. It is inspiring to hear how they kept going on, no matter how many challenges were thrown at their face. Their journey inspires common people to keep dreaming, but also the current lot of actors. One such conversation happened between Tollywood superstar Chiranjeevi and Vijay Deverakonda.
Telugu Digital Media Federation (DMF) recently organised an event in Hyderabad where Chiranjeevi and Vijay Deverakonda got candid about their acting career. The Waltair Veerayya actor told Vijay about when he was humiliated on the set of one of his movies, which determined him to keep going on and become the superstar he is today.
Chiranjeevi shared, “I was working with prominent actors like Jagayya and Sarada, apart from numerous junior artists. I was yelled at on set one day. ‘Do you think you’re a superstar? I felt humiliated; it wasn’t okay I was talked to like that. However, that was the day I decided I would become a superstar. I used the incident to fuel my ambition. Only I know how hard I’ve worked to be here today.”
In the same interaction, Chiranjeevi revealed how he became an actor. The actor once accompanied his friend Sudhakar, who wanted to say no to a role in a Punadhirallu film. The team asked the God Father actor if he wanted to do the role instead. Initially, he wasn’t sure of saying yes as he was still studying at the Madras Film Institute. But the team convinced him, and he decided to drop out of college, and acting happened to him!

Vijay Deverakonda talked about his journey and how he was initially scared while filming his first few films like Yevade Subramanyam. Vijay said, “When I see Yevade Subramanyam or Pelli Choopulu clips, I remember how scared I was. I now know I had no reason to be that worried. I watch Arjun Reddy; I remember how young and rash I was.”
Meanwhile, Vijay Deverakonda will soon meet the audience in theatres with his first release of 2024 – Family Star. Directed by Parasuram, the film also stars Mrunal Thakur. It will release in theatres on April 5, 2024.
