'Arjun Reddy' actor Vijay Deverakonda has come out in support of superstars Rajinikanth and Chiranjeevi.
'Arjun Reddy' actor Vijay Deverakonda has come out in support of superstars Rajinikanth and Chiranjeevi. At an event where he was promoting his upcoming Telugu movie 'Kushi', Vijay Deverakonda spoke about how some superstars are beyond success and failure. The actor also said that the contribution of both Rajinikanth and Chiranjeevi is enormous and it should not be judged on the basis of their recent releases.
“Rajinikanth sir might have four to five flops, but he will come back and do Jailer, which is Rs 500 crores… we all have to shut up and watch. Chiranjeevi sir will have six to seven flops back-to-back. But if he puts his feet down and does it… For (last) Sankranti, he did one huge film. So, if he decides and the right director meets his energy it will happen," said Vijay Deverakonda, as reported by The Indian Express.
“Chiru sir changed the Telugu film industry. He changed the acting that was there, the films that were there… he changed them and inspired many millions of people. So, I think, it is disrespectful to judge them based on their hits and flops now," he added.
Vijay Deverakonda also credited Rajinikanth and Chiranjeevi for being able to sustain the industry for years.
“If someone like me can come and do a film here, it is because of these guys, who have sustained the audience by giving hits. They have created this ecosystem for someone young to come and work now. They are beyond hits and flops," he said.
Rajinikanth's latest release 'Jailer' has already crossed the Rs 500 crore mark worldwide, and it is on its way to emerge as the biggest hit of Tamil cinema.
Talking about Vijay Deverakonda, the actor will next be seen in 'Kushi' alongside Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The movie directed by Shiva Nirvana, will be releasing in the theatres on September 1, 2023.
