In what seems to be two legends in one frame sort of moment, we saw Mahanati co-stars Vijay Deverakonda and Dulquer Salmaan hanging out with each other in Hyderabad. In a video posted by Vijay in his YouTube channel, the actor revealed that he bumped into Dulquer while the two were promoting their respective films, Kushi and King Of Kotha in Hyderabad. During the same, the two of them also discussed about how they have switched genres wherein Vijay hoped that his friend and costar’s action film will get a better response than his Liger.
During the conversation, Dulquer Salmaan and Vijay Deverakonda pointed out to each other about exchanging genres. While DQ mentioned how VD switched from action to romance, i.e. Liger to Kushi, the latter revealed how his Mahanati co-star did the opposite. For the unversed, Dulquer was last seen in the romantic drama Sita Ramam. As they discussed about exploring with genres, Vijay added, “I hope your film does better than mine”. For the unversed, Liger marked the debut of Vijay in Hindi films but the film failed to make a mark at the box office, despite it being produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.
While the comment left Dulquer in splits, he responded to Deverakonda adding, “I hope your love story blows up like mine”, referring to the extensive success Sita Ramam tasted. The film marked the debut of Mrunal Thakur in South and also featured Rashmika Mandanna in a unique role. Furthermore, DQ also went on to express his gratitude towards Vijay and his Kushi co-star Samantha Ruth Prabhu for doing his Telugu debut film Mahanati in which the two featured in an extended cameo.
Coming to King of Kotha, the film marks the directorial debut of Abhilash Joshiy and is slated for release on August 24 in multiple languages including Hindi. On the other hand, Kushi, also featuring Samantha Ruth Prabhu as Vijay’s love interest, is slated for release on September 1 in many languages including Hindi.
