Vijay Deverakonda is a star down South, but thanks to his Telugu blockbuster Arjun Reddy, the actor has become a household name. Now, he is all set to make his Bollywood debut with director Puri Jagannadh’s next which is being co-produced by Karan Johar.
A few days ago, there were reports of Ananya Panday joining the cast of the film and now, it has been confirmed that the actress will romance Vijay in the film. Dharma Productions posted on Instagram, “Happy to welcome on board the gorgeous @ananyapanday for our Pan-India venture with @thedeverakonda directed by @purijagannadh, produced by @karanjohar, @charmmekaur & @apoorva1972. Let the madness begin?? @puriconnects #PCfilm #AnanyaPandayVijayDeverakonda.”
Well, it will surely be interesting to watch Vijay and Ananya’s jodi on the big screen. Earlier, there were also reports of Janhvi Kapoor starring in the film, but it looks like as Janhvi has many films in her kitty, this one went to Ananya.
Apart from this Puri Jagannadh directorial, Ananya has films like Khaali Peeli, Shakun Batra’s next, and a film with Saif Ali Khan in her kitty. The actress recently won Filmfare Best Debut Award for her performance in last year’s releases Student Of The Year 2 and Pati Patni Aur Woh.
Talking about Vijay Deverakonda, the actor recently had a Telugu release titled World Famous Lover. The film has received a lukewarm response at the box office.

Man pleads guilty to crossbow murders of BBC presenter’s family
A 26-YEAR-OLD man on Wednesday pleaded guilty to murdering two daughters of a BBC sports commentator and stabbing to death their mother in a crossbow attack.
Kyle Clifford had previously denied killing Carol Hunt, 61, the wife of horseracing commentator John Hunt, and their daughters, Louise Hunt, 25, and Hannah Hunt, 28.
However, appearing via video link at Cambridge Crown Court in eastern England, Clifford changed his pleas.
The court heard that Clifford tied up Louise Hunt, his former partner, binding her arms and ankles with duct tape before shooting her in the chest with a crossbow at the family home last July.
He pleaded guilty to three counts of murder, one count of false imprisonment, and two counts of possessing offensive weapons. However, Clifford denied raping Louise.
The murders took place at the family home in the commuter town of Bushey, near Watford, northwest of London.
Clifford was arrested in July following a manhunt after the bodies of the three women were discovered.
