Vijay
Deverakonda,
one
of
the
popular
faces
in
Indian
cinema,
made
his
Bollywood
debut
with
the
sports
drama
Liger,
opposite
Ananya
Panday.
The
film,
bankrolled
by
Karan
Johar’s
Dharma
Productions
and
directed
by
Puri
Jaganaadh,
failed
to
impress
the
audience
and
went
on
to
become
this
year’s
biggest
disaster.
Meanwhile,
efforts
are
being
made
to
establish
Vijay’s
career
in
Bollywood
again
and
build
his
star
value
as
a
pan-India
actor
after
Liger
debacle.
Recently,
there
have
been
several
media
reports
that
claimed
that
Vijay
Deverakonda
will
next
be
working
with
director
Aditya
Chopra
on
the
remake
of
his
blockbuster
1995
film
Dilwale
Dulhania
Le
Jayenge.
The
iconic
film
starred
Shah
Rukh
Khan
and
Kajol
in
the
lead
roles.
If
rumours
are
to
be
believed,
Bollywood
bigwigs
want
to
work
with
Vijay
even
after
his
last
film
couldn’t
bring
in
numbers,
as
they
believe
he
has
immense
potential.
And
now,
after
Dharma,
Yash
Raj
Films
wants
to
collaborate
with
the
Arjun
Reddy
actor.
Reportedly,
Aditya
Chopra
desires
to
remake
his
hit
film
DDLJ
with
Vijay
as
the
lead,
as
the
actor
wants
to
star
in
some
light-hearted
movies
for
a
while.
However,
these
are
just
rumours,
and
there’s
no
truth
to
them.
“Who
spreads
these
absurd
rumours?
Kuch
believability
bhi
toh
honi
chahiye
(There
should
be
at
least
an
element
of
believability
in
these
rumours).
Adi
would
never
ever
remake
DDLJ
,
no
matter
what
the
bait.
People
have
been
tempting
him
with
ideas
like
doing
it
with
Shah
Rukh’s
son
and
Kajol’s
daughter.
But
he
laughs
off
all
such
suggestions.
Films
like
Sholay
DDLJ
and
Kuch
Kuch
Hota
Hai
happen
once.
Lightning
doesn’t
strike
twice
at
the
same
place,
a
source
told
ETimes.
On
the
other
hand,
at
present,
Vijay
Deverakonda
has
no
offers
from
Bollywood,
and
only
Karan
Johar
has
committed
to
making
one
more
Hindi
film
with
the
Tollywood
star.
Meanwhile,
the
news
of
Vijay
recasting
SRK’s
role
as
Raj
in
DDLJ
disappointed
his
fans.
Many
expected
King
Khan’s
son
Aryan
Khan
or
daughter
Suhana
Khan
in
the
remake,
while
several
of
them
were
angry
with
the
idea
of
remaking
the
evergreen
DDLJ.
Speaking
of
Vijay
Deverakonda,
the
actor
will
next
be
seen
opposite
Samantha
Ruth
Prabhu
in
Kushi,
which
has
been
billed
as
a
romantic
comedy
film.
Kushi
is
directed
by
Shiva
Nirvana
and
has
been
set
for
a
December
23
release.
The
film
has
been
shot
in
Kashmir.
