Anand would often pretend to be me while talking to others: Vijay Devarakonda

Tollywood actor Vijay Deverakonda virtually joined a promotional event for his brother Anand Devarakonda’s upcoming film ‘Gam Gam Ganesha.’ They were asked about the similarity in their voices. “The day our mother couldn’t differentiate who was calling out for her was when we realised we had similar voices. We later used it to our advantage and would prank our girlfriends and friends. Anand would often pretend to be me while talking to others. We thought getting him to dub for some scenes in one of my films would be a great idea,” Vijay said.

Anand also talked about the trends pertaining to competition within the Kollywood industry. “This new culture in the film industry is negative. Competition is something positive; it helps us to better ourselves and makes us want to make better films. But it turns into a negative when every actor is compared with others and talked about for their looks and the numbers their movies are making. Even the audience is somehow engrossed in talking about how much their favourite actor made at the box office. Because of that comparison, we have forgotten to celebrate cinema,” Anand said. ‘Gam Gam Ganesha’ directed by Uday Shetty will be released on May 31st.
