Vijay Deverakonda Birthday Special: An open letter to the heartthrob who dared to dream!

Dear Vijay,

This year, as you turn 32, we want to let you know how much we adore watching you on-screen in movies like Geetha Govindham and Taxiwaala. We love almost every role you’ve portrayed, but more than that, we love how much you love your Rowdies. Happy Birthday!

Watch the trailer for the Vijay and Priyanka starrer Taxiwaala right here!

We love how you started as a theatre actor, and have come far enough to rule the box office. Nepotism is an ongoing debate that might not end for a while, but to all those who think that they cannot make it because they do not have a godfather, you are an answer. From starring in small roles to finally taking us by the breath with movies like Geetha Govindam, there is nothing you have not done to prove your love for the craft. Your humble beginning will always be an inspiration.

Your Rowdies love you because they know that you love them back equally. It is rare for a celebrity to try and reduce the distance between their fans and them, and they love you for it. We are sure that they value every message that they get from you and will forever be a Rowdy, wearing the tag with pride.

Not all of your movies were box-office hits, but that never stopped the roles from being memorable. From Geetha Govindham’s Govind to Taxiwaala’s Shiva, they were all iconic and unforgettable. With Govind, you made sure to drive the message of the repercussions of harassing someone, and with Shiva, you made sure to entertain the audience whenever you were on-screen.

What makes you even more relatable is the love you have for Storm, your pet dog. Every time you pose with him, the internet is taken aback. We would love nothing more than to see the two of you flooding our feeds with your pictures. We get major pet parent goals from you and Storm, and hope to see more of it!

The fact that you are open about the contribution that your family has made to your success, and how grounded they keep you, proves that your family is the centre of your universe. We hope to see all of you, smiling always, and spread cheer like you always do.

Starring in over 15 films, from 2011, we are certain that there is a very long way to go before you reach your epitome, and keep charming the critics and audiences alike!

With love,

A fan.
