You hit someone hard when Shah Rukh Khan says, “You are the last of the stars.” One of the most famous actors in the South, Vijay Deverakonda, is poised to dominate Bollywood. Since he is a self-made celebrity, everyone looks up to Shah Rukh Khan. King Khan’s story is quite inspirational. He served as this boy’s greatest source of motivation, and now, look at him. In a recent interview with GQ, The Liger Boy remembers hearing SRK say in an interview that he was “the last of the stars” and wanting to correct him.
In an interview with GQ, Vijay stated, “I distinctly remember wanting to tell Shah Rukh he was mistaken after watching his interview. Not the last, you. I’m leaving.” Additionally, he stated in the same interview, “You have no idea how motivated I was by Shah Rukh Khan’s achievement. It made it very clear to me that I could do it, too, if he could. One successful individual will do for a reference.”
Vijay Deverakonda, who appeared on Karan Johar’s show, discussed how SRK, who hails from Delhi-controlled Mumbai, influenced him because of King. Vijay said: “Growing up, I witnessed Chiranjeevi Garu arriving from nothing in his native country of India or Shah Rukh traveling from Delhi. They gave you some optimism that this is possible. It does help, and it does show you a route, so I believe I need to do the same for my generation and the people that come after me. So that’s what I find appealing.”
Vijay Deverkonda desires to dethrone Shah Rukh as the “King.” According to reports, when asked what one thing he would like to take from Khan, he responded by using the term “King” during a recent interview with India Today. The boy has lofty aspirations, I guess. But we enquire as to whether he will succeed in unseating King Khan. The reviews for Vijay’s first film to be released in all of India, Liger, have already begun to flood in and are already referring to it as “paisa vasool.”
