Vijay Deverakonda as Jr. Artist in TV Serial!

As far as anyone of our knowledge takes us, we know that Vijay Deverakonda made his debut into Telugu films with ‘Life Is Beautiful’ though the first film to go on to the sets was ‘Nuvvila’. But, did we even know that his debut was not on big screen but played a small role in a television serial?

The makers of a television series on Puttaparthi Satya Sai Baba wanted a few junior artists and therefore, as Vijay Deverakonda and his classmates were students of the same institution, they were taken as a free supply and Vijay D was one among the students who were given the chance to feature in the television series on Satya Sai Baba. So, that’s the way he made his acting debut.

In that episode of that television series, though they were supposed to listen to the dialogues, Vijay managed to get to mouth a couple of dialogues, even. However, when he grew up, he did ‘Nuvvila’ only to keep himself occupied with work so that his parents won’t question his trails to get substantial roles as a hero in movies.
