Vijay Deverakonda is currently promoting his upcoming film The Family Star, which is set to release in theaters on April 5th, 2024. During the promotions, the Liger actor spoke with Indiaglitz in an interview where he was asked about working with debut directors from Tamil.

In response, Vijay Deverakonda said, "I don't work with debutants now. At least they need to be one film old because it's a huge challenge to take up when you come straight onto a set. It's a lot of pressure to handle a budget, to handle a scale."

Vijay Deverakonda further explained, "When they do one film old, all of us get better with every film. Your first film just gets you into the groove… It's like having that practice match, like warming up. I need them warm and ready for me because when I come, I come all out and I need them to be fully ready to be able to exploit me and use me."

The actor further explained that he doesn’t work with debutants even if they’re one film old and only decides after seeing their film. This makes him understand the director’s music sense, editing sense, and expertise in visual storytelling. He also added that their film doesn’t need to be a hit but he just has to like it to work with them.
