The film industry is a special place where a nobody can become a top followed star. The hard work and passion are the key here. The story of THE Vijay Deverakonda implies the same. Marking the occasion of his birthday, here's a look into his impressive journey thus far.

Vijay made his pan-Indian debut with Liger and the name resonated all over the country as Vijay D aggressively promoted the film all over.

Setting aside the result of the film, Vijay's hard work was noticed and the entire country got to see the spark in him. The openings for the film are also a testament of his increased stardom.

Going back to where it all started off,  Vijay established and more importantly introduced himself with Pelli Choopulu, a breezy entertainer.

And then, Vijay D followed it up with cult classic Arjun Reddy which bought him closer to the young audience and the masses. This raging hit propelled him to the big league.

Vijay's Geetha Govindam was a box office bonanza and is one of the biggest blockbusters of all time in terms of investment-return calculation. This truly made him a bankable star at the box office.
