They are more than hits or flops, says Vijay Devarakonda.
Vijay Deverakonda has come out in support of superstars Rajinikanth and Chiranjeevi. Deverakonda, on the sidelines of promoting his upcoming film Kushi, spoke about how big actors are beyond success and failure. The actor said that their contributions to cinema are enormous and shouldn’t be judged by the performances of their recent films.
Vijay Deverakonda also credited stars like Rajinikanth and Chiranjeevi for sustaining the industry for generations. “If someone like me can come and do a film here, it is because of these guys, who have sustained the audience by giving hits. They have created this ecosystem for someone young to come and work now. They are beyond hits and flops.”
The actor said, “Rajinikanth sir might have four to five flops, but he will come back and do Jailer, which is Rs 500 crores… we all have to shut up and watch. Chiranjeevi, sir will have six to seven flops back-to-back. But if he puts his feet down and does it… For (last) Sankranti, he did one huge film. So, if he decides and the right director meets his energy it will happen.”
