Young Tollywood Actor In Thalaivi?

Vijay Deverakonda has been approached by the makers of the upcoming film Thalaivi, the biopic of former Chief Minister of Tamilnadu J Jayalalitha, to essay an important role. Kangana Ranaut is playing the main lead role and as per the latest buzz, the team is planning to rope Vijay Deverakonda to portray the role of Shoban Babu in the movie.

Vijay Deverakonda also did a cameo in Nag Ashwin’s directorial venture Mahanati, based on the life of legendary actress Savitri. South Indian actress, Priyamani has also been brought on board to play the Controversial role of Sasikala, who was a close aid of Jayalalithaa.

Thalaivi is scheduled to release in three languages -Telugu, Tamil and Hindi, so the makers needed the actors with a pan-Indian appeal. That is the reason they approached Priyamani to essay the role of Sasikala and now the team is planning to rope in Vijay Deverakonda, too. Now we have to wait and watch whether Vijay gives a nod to Thalaivi or not.
