Vijay Devarakonda is the man of the hour. He is the lastest Trendsetter in Telugu film industry after Arjun Reddy. His Geeta Govindam is running with packed houses and being called as the hero from Telangana. The other day his fans have set up a banner with Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on the top, saying that Vijay has the blessings of KCR.
There were rumours that Vijay is related to KCR distantly and no one clarified on that front. KTR visited Vijay’s house for lunch recently. There are rumours that KTR is also investing in movies.
He has seen some movies in the recent times and tweeted that they were good. Bharat Ane Nenu was one of them where KTR participated in the promotion also.
KCR also likes movies, but except for Baahubali he has not seen any other movie in the recent time. KCR watches movies at Pragathi Bhavan with grandson Himanshu.
But all said and done a star or an actor should not have any barrier in the form of regions. He is a Telugu star and a trendsetter in the Telugu cinema and all Telugu people are liking him. He should be seen as a Telugu actor and not just confine him to Telangana. Having the blessings of KCR is well and good, but he must also have the blessings of all the Telugu people in Andhra and Telangana.
Confining him to Telangana and calling him Telangana superstar will reduce his market.
