Mamitha Baiju Or Bhagyashri Borse? Who Stars Opposite Vijay Deverakonda In His Next?

Vijay Deverakonda’s career is going through a bumpy ride. After the critical and commercial failure of the much-hyped Liger, he next appeared with Samantha Ruth Prabhu in the romantic film Kushi. The movie received positive reviews and was a moderate success. However, this year’s The Family Star which reunited him with his Geetha Govindam director Parasuram, did not click with the audience. The failure of Liger also reportedly caused a high-budget film with Puri Jagannadh, and Jana Gana Mana to get shelved.

Vijay Deverakonda is now slated to appear in the tentatively titled VD12, a spy thriller being directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. Not much is known about the movie as of yet. There is some interesting information though about the female lead opposite Vijay Deverakonda in the movie. Both Mamitha Baiju, as well as Bhagyashri Borse, are under consideration for the movie’s female lead. It is said that the VD12 team is already in talks with Mamitha Baiju while Bhagyashri is also an option.

It is interesting to note that the film was initially offered to Sreeleela who even signed the movie. However, last year she opted out of the film. This was a result of a delay in shooting as Vijay Deverakonda had prior commitments to The Family Star. When the new shooting schedules were announced for this year, Sreeleela could not allow dates and hence dropped out of the movie.

As Vijay Deverakonda celebrates his birthday today, fans were expecting a significant update about VD12, as is the general norm these days. While fans acknowledge the necessity of maintaining secrecy in a spy thriller, many had anticipated a glimpse or perhaps a special poster to mark Vijay’s birthday. However, they were disappointed to receive only information about the ongoing filming, devoid of any exclusive content. The talk is that this film will be a ‘period action drama’ set in Rayalaseema. No other information about VD12 has been revealed as of yet.
