Vijay’s Hyderabad drawl attracted people towards him. In his roles from ‘Arjun Reddy’ to ‘Pelli Choopulu’, fans noticed a slow and lazy style of speaking in him. The actor, in his interviews, also speaks in this slow and cute flow.

Vijay talks very candidly and sometimes a little too candid. In a public event during the time of ‘Arjun Reddy’, he used some crucial statements to react to people who called him overconfident. He always speaks his mind out and never acts fake in front of his fans.

Vijay Deverakonda’s father, Govardhan Rao, was a TV show director and he could not make success in his career. In Tollywood, there are many actors including Chiranjeevi and Akkineni Nagarjuna who could support their next generation and they could launch their children into the industry. Vijay did theater and his journey was never a cakewalk. The actor had a shift in his career after ‘Arjun Reddy’.

Vijay is also known for his philanthropic initiatives rather than acting. He started a ‘birthday Truck’ which gives free ice creams to people in different cities on his birthday. The actor does the same on Christmas day as well. There are many other charity works he has done which make him close to people.
