Shocking! Vijay Deverakonda said no to Dear Comrade. Well, we mean Hindi remake of Dear Comrade which was bought by Karan Johar and will be produced under his banner Dharma Productions. Interestingly, this is not the first time Vijay declined Bollywood offer. He had previously declined Kabir Singh, which has turned to be biggest Hindi blockbuster in recent times.
In an interview, Vijay opened up refusing Hindi Dear Comrade and the reason behind it. “Dear Comrade will be made in Hindi. I won’t be doing it but yeah, that’s why I was here (in Mumbai). I didn’t want to become a Hindi film hero. I wanted to become an actor and I wanted to tell stories. I see no point in telling the same story twice. I spend so much energy on doing a film that I can’t redo the entire emotion and beats. I can’t put myself through that again. It’s not exciting for me because I know the scenes and everything, it’s exciting no longer,” he said.

He adds, “And there are so many interesting stories out there that I wouldn’t want to waste six more months of my life doing the same thing. If there are other actors who are excited by it, it’s much nicer because you need to be excited. It’s fresh for them and they might have a new approach. It just doesn’t interest me as much. That’s the only reason. Karan asked me, ‘Will you do Dear Comrade?’ and I said no. But I have other scripts I can look at, not this.”
On the work front, Vijay is gearing up for Dear Comrade release on July 26. This is the second time that Vijay has paired up with Rashmika Mandanna.
