Deverakonda Vijay Sai, professionally known as Vijay Deverakonda, is an Indian actor and film producer who works predominantly in Telugu films. One of the highest-paid actors of Telugu cinema, he has featured in Forbes India's Celebrity 100 list since 2018 and has received several accolades, including a Filmfare Award, a Nandi Award, and three SIIMA Awards.
Deverakonda made his debut with Nuvvila and received praise for his role in the coming-of-age drama Yevade Subramanyam. He rose to prominence as a leading film actor by starring in Pelli Choopulu and Arjun Reddy, winning the Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Telugu for his performance as a volatile surgeon in the latter. He further established himself with commercially successful films such as Mahanati, Geetha Govindam, and Taxiwaala. This success was followed by a series of poorly received films such as the critically panned big-budget action film Liger.
In 2019, Deverakonda launched his own production house King of the Hill Entertainment, which produced Meeku Maathrame Cheptha and Pushpaka Vimanam.
