Vijay Deverakonda Breaks Silence Over 'The' Tag Criticism: 'Nobody Else Gets Backlash'
Last Updated: Vijay shared that his team encouraged the addition of a tag during the promotions of Liger, especially as other stars had their own titles. Vijay Deverakonda has always stood out in the film industry for doing things his way whether it's choosing unconventional roles or being unapologetically himself. But one move that unexpectedly invited major backlash was his brief decision to add 'The' before his name. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, the Liger actor opened up about the controversy, the thought behind the tag, and why he ultimately dropped it. 'That was one whole situation in itself," Vijay said, referring to the public reaction over 'The Vijay Deverakonda' branding. He explained, 'There was a crazy amount of backlash because 'The' was added to my name. Interestingly, no other person ever got backlash for something like that. You can have any name—from Universal Star to People's Star—and people younger than me, older than me, those who debuted before me, everyone has a tagline. I was probably the only one without one. Nobody else gets backlash." The actor shared that his team encouraged the addition of a tag during the promotions of Liger, especially as other stars had their own titles. 'I resisted for a long time because I didn't want the tag. I just wanted to be known by my name. But in articles, the press would call me Southern Sensation, Rowdy Star and many other different variants," he said. He further explained his discomfort with being called 'Southern Sensation,' calling it 'limiting." As a compromise, he had suggested adding a simple 'The' to his name—something minimal, yet distinct. But even that drew criticism. Eventually, Vijay decided to do away with all titles. 'I told my team to just refer to me as Vijay Deverakonda. That's how I want to be known—nothing more, nothing less." Meanwhile, Vijay is now looking forward to the release of his upcoming spy thriller Kingdom, directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. The film is slated to release in theatres on July 31. The recently released promo has already created buzz online, with fans calling it a much-needed comeback for the actor.

Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar co-star Sara Arjun once played alongside Salman Khan in Jai Ho; take a look
Ranveer Singh, 40, might be leading the charge in the upcoming action thriller Dhurandhar, but all eyes are on his co-star Sara Arjun — and for good reason. The 18-year-old actor, who will be seen sharing the screen with Ranveer for the first time, isn't exactly a newcomer. In fact, she's acted opposite another Bollywood giant, Salman Khan, long before Dhurandhar was even imagined. Ranveer Singh, Sara Arjun and Salman Khan Yes, you read that right. Sara Arjun played the role of a schoolgirl in Jai Ho (2014), featuring Salman Khan in the lead. At the time, she was only a child, but already making waves in both Bollywood and the South film industries. Now, over a decade later, she's back in the spotlight, and this time, she's the leading lady. From child prodigy to pan-India performer Born on June 18, 2005, Sara Arjun is the daughter of actor Raj Arjun, known for Secret Superstar. By the time she was six, Sara had already starred in over 100 commercials. Her big break came in the Tamil film Deiva Thirumagal (2011), where she played the daughter of a mentally challenged father. She then went on to deliver powerful performances in Saivam (2014), Ek Thi Daayan (2013), Chithirayil Nilachoru (2013), and the acclaimed anthology Sillu Karuppatti (2019). More recently, audiences saw her portraying a younger version of Aishwarya Rai's character in Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan 2 (2023). Dhurandhar: A big debut (again) Directed by Aditya Dhar (Uri: The Surgical Strike), Dhurandhar is being touted as one of the biggest action spectacles of 2025. Unveiled by Jio Studios and B62 Studios on Ranveer Singh's birthday, the film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal. The high-octane first look is set to a pulsating soundtrack by Shashwat, featuring vocals by Jasmine Sandlas and a special collaboration with genre-blending artist Hanumankind. But while the film's visuals are grabbing attention, so is the casting. Sara's pairing with Ranveer Singh — who is nearly 20 years her senior — has raised eyebrows online. Some netizens have expressed surprise at the age gap, sparking a familiar conversation in Bollywood about onscreen pairings.
