Undoubtedly, Vijay Deverakonda has a phenomenal craze among youth. Given his success track record, his histrionics, his ultra modern styling and his unique way of appearances in front of public made him stand tall among most other heroes of his tier group heroes.
On the flip side, a group of people, who include Vijay and his fans themselves are playing spoilsport innocently. This group of people indulge in extreme flattery on Vijay. Some FB and Twitter pages which are named 'VD' groups make sure overboard buttering on Vijay. These groups and of course, some media houses too compare Vijay with iconic heroes of film industry like Power Star Pawan Kalyan.
When Vijay kept delivering hits and super hits, there mightn't have been any trolling on him with these comparisons. However, the problem gets arisen if he scores flops and averages.
"When Vijay's craze is directly compared to Pawan Kalyan's crlaze, why shouldn't one compare his films' first day collections with Pawan Kalyan films' first day collections? The point is that Vijay's film openings are still not on par with the openings of star heroes. His latest offing Dear Comrade's collections crossed the mark of Rs.10 crores with some hiked numbers recorded in Ceded, East Godavari etc. On the other hand, top stars are getting around Rs.30 crores collections on day one. "If at all, a Pawan Kalyan's film is released now, the movie can easily collect Rs.35+ crore day one share," an analyst opined.
Hence, Vijay should work more on his strengths while social media's enthusiasts should stop comparing him with Pawan Kalyan and other top stars for time being.
