Arjun Reddy was marked as a huge success as Vijay Deverakonda’s at the box office. However, not many know that Vijay wasn’t the first choice for the dark romantic dramatisation.
According to reports in ETimes, the director first approached Sharwanand back in 2016 for the film, however, he couldn’t turn up for several reasons, despite liking the story.
Sharwanand in an interview, also said, “Sandeep narrated the story to me first. Actually, he wanted to produce the film, but I felt that it was a big responsibility for him, so I sent him to a few producers. But they felt that it was a risky project and that’s how I couldn’t do it. I felt bad that I couldn’t do the project, but now, after the film has become a huge hit, I feel that Vijay was the right actor for it”.
