Vijay Deverakonda brought humour, emotion and personal reflection to the ‘Romanchakam’ pre-release event. He shared an update on Rashmika Mandanna, spoke warmly about director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and looked back on the major changes in his life and career.

Update on Rashmika Mandanna

During his speech, Vijay Deverakonda briefly addressed Rashmika Mandanna’s well-being. He assured fans that she was doing fine and recovering well, adding that she was enjoying her time at home. Although he did not reveal further details, the update offered reassurance to those concerned about her health.

A Rare Bond with Sandeep Reddy Vanga

Vijay then spoke about his close relationship with filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga, describing their connection as both exceptional and difficult to define. He said Sandeep was more than a friend and more than a brother to him. Their association began with ‘Arjun Reddy’, which marked Sandeep’s directorial debut and became a significant turning point in both their careers.

The film established Vijay as a major performer in Telugu cinema and introduced Sandeep’s bold filmmaking style to a wider audience. Referring to the director’s persuasive personality in his trademark humorous manner, Vijay joked that anyone who receives a call from Sandeep and chooses not to attend is wasting their life. The remark drew an enthusiastic reaction from the audience and highlighted their enduring personal and professional bond.

Vijay Reflects on His Personal Journey

The actor also took a candid look back at his life since his birth in 1989. He recalled experiencing dramatically different phases, whether or not he had money, and referred to everything from drinking Blender’s Pride and Glenfiddich to eventually giving up alcohol. Vijay also mentioned falling in love, experiencing heartbreak and getting married, presenting each milestone with his characteristic humour.

Summing up these experiences, Vijay described his life as one continuous “Romanchakam,” connecting his personal story with the title of the film being celebrated. His comments combined self-deprecating humour with an honest reflection on how much his priorities and circumstances have changed over the years.
