Vijay Deverakonda was reluctant to do mass masala movies until Dear Comrade bombed at the box office.
He realized that he cannot always rely upon youthful films and 'youth icon' image. He is now looking to test new waters too. Vijay is all set to do a mass movie very soon.
The Arjun Reddy star has given nod to work with Puri Jagannadh who is currently riding high on the blockbuster success of iSmart Shankar.
The star director has been trying to convince Vijay from a long time. Vijay Deverakonda is under pressure after Dear Comrade bombed. He couldn't live up to expectations post Geetha Govindam.
Vijay has been inclined to doing innovative cinema that appeals to the contemporary audience. But the raising stakes has forced him to try masala movies too.
It would be interesting how Vijay looks under the direction of Puri Jagannadh. The project will be made official shortly.
