At the pre-release event of Vijay Deverakonda’s Ranabaali, director Buchi Babu Sana made a huge statement that has stirred conversations on social media already. He stated that Vijay Deverakonda enjoys the same level of star image as Powerstar Pawan Kalyan.
“An assistant director who worked for Geetha Govindam worked for my Uppena as well. He told me about an interesting incident once. During the shoot of Geetha Govindam at a private college in Hyderabad, the college management had to lock the classroom doors as the female students were drooling over Vijay Deverakonda and losing their minds over him. That was the time Arjun Reddy got released,” said Buchi Babu Sana.
He added, “A star is always a star no matter what. Vijay Deverakonda is a star. He has Kalyan garu range star image.” The auditorium instantly erupted with loud cheers when Buchi Babu Sana made this comparison.
