In a recently aired discussion, renowned actor Vijay Deverakonda unveiled his wishes regarding marriage and family amidst a whirlwind of promotional activities for his forthcoming film ‘Family Star’. The actor, who has been entangled in rumours of a romance with actress Rashmika Mandanna, shared his thoughts on establishing a family of his own during a candid exchange with a Tamil Nadu correspondent.
Vijay Deverakonda, a heartthrob of the South Indian cinema and a rising Bollywood contender, has openly embraced the joys of his bachelorhood. Despite being an eligible bachelor, he has expressed his desire to eventually settle down. “I also want to get married and become a father,” Vijay stated, adding a significant caveat – a love marriage endorsed by his parents is what he foresees for his future.
While Vijay’s personal life remains under speculation, particularly concerning the speculation of an engagement with Rashmika Mandanna, trusted sources have refuted these claims as baseless. The pair, who have appeared together in hit films such as ‘Geetha Govindam’ and ‘Dear Comrade’, share a palpable on-screen chemistry that has fueled ongoing gossip about their off-screen relationship.
As for his professional journey, Vijay Deverakonda is awaiting the premiere of his movie ‘Family Star’, slated for release on April 5, 2024. This eagerly anticipated cinematic venture—helmed by director Parasuram Petla—showcases a talented ensemble cast featuring Abhinaya, Vasuki, Rohini Hattangadi, and Ravi Babu, and even boasts a special cameo by Rashmika Mandanna herself. The multilingual film, produced by esteemed producer Dil Raju, aims to create a significant impact in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi speaking markets.
Following ‘Family Star’, Vijay will be gracing the silver screen in a project temporarily referred to as ‘VD 12’, under the direction of Gowtam Tinnanuri, who garnered acclaim for ‘Jersey’. The details of this project are shrouded in anticipation, with announcements of the cast and plot highly awaited by fans and industry insiders alike. Actress Sree Leela is set to star alongside Vijay, adding to the intrigue of the film. The creative production helm will be assumed by Vasu Varma, with K.U. Mohanan directing its cinematography. Gopi Sunder is set to weave the musical tapestry of the film, and A.S. Prakash will head the art direction.
Vijay took his first steps in Bollywood with Puri Jagannadh’s ‘Liger’ in 2022, although the reception didn’t mirror his acclaimed performances in the South. Despite the lackluster box-office performance of ‘Liger’—which featured Ananya Panday and was produced under Karan Johar’s banner—the film told the compelling story of Liger and his mother, who relocate from Telangana to Mumbai with aspirations of MMA glory. During this period, Vijay faced inquiries from the Enforcement Directorate amid concerns regarding the funding of this cinematic work, further highlighting the intense scrutiny the actor faces in his career.
As Vijay continues to charm audiences with his distinct blend of romantic heroism and masculine prowess, his statement on marriage reflects a more tender aspect of his persona. The confluence of his personal desires and unyielding professional dedication presents a multi-faceted individual whose journey is keenly observed by admirers around the globe. For now, fans can revel in his bachelorhood while anticipating his next steps both on and off the screen. With additional context provided by various agencies.
