Deverakonda Vijay Sai (born 9 May 1989), professionally known as Vijay Deverakonda,[1] is an Indian actor and film producer who works predominantly in Telugu films.[2][3] One of the highest-paid actors of Telugu cinema, he has featured in Forbes India's Celebrity 100 list since 2018 and has received several accolades, including a Filmfare Award, a Nandi Award, and three SIIMA Awards.[4]
Deverakonda made his debut with Nuvvila (2011) and received praise for his role in the coming-of-age drama Yevade Subramanyam (2015). He rose to prominence as a leading film actor by starring in Pelli Choopulu (2016) and Arjun Reddy (2017), winning the Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Telugu for his performance as a volatile surgeon in the latter. He further established himself with commercially successful films such as Mahanati (2018), Geetha Govindam (2018), and Taxiwaala (2018).[5][6] This success was followed by a series of poorly received films such as the critically panned big-budget action film Liger (2022).
In 2019, Deverakonda launched his own production house King of the Hill Entertainment, which produced Meeku Maathrame Cheptha (2019) and Pushpaka Vimanam (2021).[7][8] Beyond his film career, Deverakonda has designed his own fashion brand Rowdy Wear, which launched on Myntra in 2020,[9] and is the co-owner of the volleyball team Hyderabad Black Hawks.[10] Deverakonda is also a celebrity endorser for numerous products and supports various humanitarian causes.
