It is true that Vijay Devarakonda has gained tremendous fan following among the youth. It is also true that his films have been able to get massive and guarantee openings only because of the craze he has among the college youth.
At the same time, Vijay has proved, through the huge success of his blockbuster film “Geetha Govindam,” that he has as well got a lot of following even among the family audiences. It does mean he has the talent that appeals to all sections of audiences.
Yet, Vijay appears to be giving preference to do only youth-oriented films.
He is of the view that youth are interested in seeing him rebel-type roles; so, he is doing more or less similar roles in his recent films.
He is asking the directors to create scenes that would show him with fully-grown beard.
Despite the failure of Dear Comrade, Vijay has not realised his mistake. If he does not act in films that entertain all sections of audiences while covering elements that attract youth, his craze among his fans will go waste.
Apparently, Vijay is forcing the directors to incorporate certain scenes that would keep away family audiences to watch his films in streaming aps.
Analysts say this is mainly because he doesn’t have a filmy background and also is surrounded by right people to guide him properly.
He is presently doing films with directors who are yielding diktats, but is not giving them a chance to command him.
