Vijay Devarakonda’s Hero: A Sports Drama?

Young sensation Vijay Devarakonda is lining up interesting films that dabble with different genres. Rather sticking to the rom-com genre that gave him mega hits like Pelli Choopulu and Geetha Govindam, he is eyeing political thrillers, sports dramas and larger-than-life stories too.

Currently busy wrapping Dear Comrade and also director Kranthi Madhav’s movie, we hear that he will be coming up with a sports drama later this movie. Likely to be produced by Mythri Movie Makers, this film will be shot simultaneously in Telugu, Tamil and Kannada if we have to believe.

Tamil film Kaaka Muttai fame dialogue writer Anand Annamalai is said to be carving this sports drama based on some real incidents where our hero will appear as a bike racer. Though much details are yet to be revealed, the makers are currently considering the title “Hero” for this film.

In 1984, Megastar Chiranjeevi came up with “Hero” under the direction of Vijaya Bapineedu, and in 2008 Nithin has also come up with a film with the title “Hero”. We have to see if Vijay Devarakonda also joins the club.
