Vijay Devarkonda As World Famous Lover- with a sense of Deja-vu

It is a short career but is the performance of Vijay Deverakonda already getting repetitive?

Before we come to the point, let us clear one thing. The 'acting' is not bad. It is good, and there is a lot of intensity too.

No doubt, the first look of Vijay Deverakonda from World Famous Lover is intense. But there is a sense of deja-vu. Heavy smoking, uncontrollable anger and anguish persona shown in the look reminisce us of Arjun Reddy. While Arjun Reddy saw Vijay as an angry man who can't control his anger and is addicted to alcohol, smoking since he can't forget his love Preeti, the World Famous Lover first look also indicates to be something similar that revolves around love and pain.

Even Vijay's last film Dear Comrade too has similar shades. Though it has layers like women and sexual abuse, the characterization of Bobby has similar shades like his aggressive nature, anger and has no control over himself.

With anger being the common point in Vijay's recent films, the question is whether Vijay getting typecast with such kinda characterizations? And the directors and producers also seem to be banking on Vijay's Arjun Reddy image as it would be a safe bet. And Vijay too seems to be not coming out of Arjun Reddy hangover or his obsession for anger. Looks like Vijay is unknowingly doing the same thing over and over again.

Given his huge stardom and massive fan following, Vijay needs to be more conscious while choosing his roles and he should ensure there is change in the character arc of his roles by not sticking to a pattern.

The poster also suggests that Deverakonda is going back to playing a lover, who may not take heartbreaks lightly. He seems to be on his home ground here.

World Famous Lover has not one but four leading ladies, including Raashi Khanna, Aishwarya Rajesh, Catherine Tresa, and Izabella Leite. Billed as a romantic entertainer, KA Vallabha is producing the film while KS Rama Rao is presenting it under Creative Commercials banner. Composer Gopi Sundar, who scored music for Vijay Deverakonda's hit romantic comedy Geetha Govindam is also working on this film.

While 'repetition' is true for every star, it wasn't the case with them so early in their career. Take the case of Mahesh Babu, who is currently going through such a phase. It has come after many movies and years in the industry. He is a multiple award winner, and people expect something fresh from him which he can and has delivered in the past
