Vijay Deverakonda recently spoke about the failure of his Bollywood debut film Liger, in which he starred alongside Ananya Panday. The film was directed by Puri Jagannadh. The actor stated that he doesn't let the reception of his films affect him and that he only does things he believes in.
In an interview with News18, Vijay Deverakonda said, "I don't know if I've handled things with grace, I just handle them the way I know how it is. It's my reaction to whatever is happening at that point. I just know that I'm very honest with my emotions and feelings. And if that is what I feel at that point, I express it that particular way. And I know that when it is truly what I feel, when it is not something I'm saying to get a reaction or to be part of the popular opinion at that point or to get traction, when you know that it's what you feel inside, even if it's received well or if it's not received well, because it can go either way once it goes out into the world, it can be perceived in any way." He added, "I just know that when it is something I truly believe in, and I say that, and I will always stand by it. And I will not be affected by how it's received. So, that's how I just deal with stuff always." The film also had an extended cameo of boxing legend Mike Tyson.
Vijay Deverakonda will be seen next in Kushi with Samantha Ruth Prabhu.
