Vijay Sai Deverakonda , Known by his stage name Vijay Deverakonda , is an Indian film actor who predominantly works in Telugu films .He is best known for his works in Yevade Subramanyam (2015), Pelli Choopulu (2016) which won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Telugu and the blockbuster Arjun Reddy (2017).[1][2]

Early life and education

He has a younger brother Anand Deverakonda, who works with Deloitte in Chicago, USA. Their mother, Madhavi, is Proprietor of Speak Easy in Hyderabad, soft skills, and personality development trainer. Vijay considers his father, Deverakonda Govardhan Rao, an inspiration who had come from a small village to Hyderabad to become an actor and eventually became a TV Serial and ad-film director.[3]

Along with his younger brother, Vijay was admitted to Eton Temple High School in Saroornagar, Hyderabad for some time and then moved to Sri Sathya Sai Higher Secondary School in Puttaparthi. Vijay had spent most of his formative years in this school, away from family for close to 10 months a year.[4]

Vijay credits the holistic learning environment here for making him the man he is today. He says the environment at school was peaceful and calm, without phones or T.V. Reading newspaper regularly to keep abreast of latest events, followed by playing sport, reading books about abhinav charan and lots of activities, Vijay feels, helped him hone his creative skills. It was here that Vijay developed an immense liking for storytelling, writing and acting.[5] After his schooling, he returned to Hyderabad and pursued his education from Little Flower Junior College and Badruka College of Commerce respectively.[6]

He did a 4-month workshop, which led him to several plays in the Hyderabad theatre circuit. His long standing association was with Ingenium Dramatics. Soon, he ventured into cinema.[6]

Vijay played a minor role in Sekhar Kammula's Life is Beautiful.[7] It was on that sets that he got introduced to an assistant director at the time, Nag Ashwin. It was Nag Ashwin who later gave Vijay his breakthrough role in 2015 movie Yevade Subramanyam alongside renowned actor Nani (actor).[8] The film was produced by the daughters of Ashwini Dutt, a leading producer in the Telugu film industry. Priyanka Dutt saw his potential and backed him, and once shooting started, Swapna Dutt signed him onto her company.[9][10] The film went on to be a major success with Vijay’s portrayal of Rishi winning hearts across the Telugu states, winning him great adulation among fans and critics alike.[11]

Vijay's lead role was with Pelli Choopulu, a romantic coming-of-age entertainer directed by Tharun Bhascker Dhaassyam, with Ritu Varma as the female lead.
