Vijay Deverakonda is one of the biggest breakthrough stars on the block. However, a statement the young star made was misunderstood in industry circles, unintentionally hurting the sentiments of a few including theatre veteran Manoj Desai. Since the self-made star, who also happens to be a theatre owner himself, understands the intricacies of the business he felt that it was essential to clear the air. The actor also deeply respects elders and his audience at large and decided to explain his stance, a move that was highly respected and appreciated.
When Vijay heard of Manoj Desai’s dismay, the actor immediately flew to Mumbai from Hyderabad to clear the air with the Maratha Mandir and Gaiety Galaxy theatre owner.
