Vijay Deverakonda was recently seen alongside Mrunal Thakur and producer Dil Raju promoting their film The Family Star which is slated to release in theaters on 5th April 2024. During the media event, Vijay was asked about his remuneration today, as he has become a big star.
The popular actor responded saying, “I’m a star but I genuinely took home a good amount of money only recently with my film Kushi. Before that, when you’re an outsider you’d have to forget about money, you have to set up your place and understand your performance and learn about working in films.”
