about the actor.

When a fan page shared that the 2018 sleeper hit

RX 100

by

Ajay Bhupati

, starring

Kartikeya

and Payal Rajput was first shared to Vijay Deverakonda, the actress shared the titbit on her social media and wrote, “Everything happens for a reason.” (sic) She’s of course talking about the success Kartikeya found with the film, as his first film Prematho Mee Karthik went unnoticed in 2017. And the fact that Vijay Deverakonda too found success with the projects he picked later on.

The fact that VD was first offered the film is known news as in a 2018 interview Ajay Bhupati admitted the same. He stated, “The first person I narrated this script three years ago is Vijay Deverakonda, this was before

, let alone Arjun Reddy, which my film keeps being compared to. He put off saying yes to the film for whatever reason and that’s okay. I was still working for

back then and I was sure I wanted to cast someone new. Then when I met Karthikeya, I knew he was the right fit.” He also revealed that Vijay later got in touch with him to congratulate on the film’s success.

The film is now being remade in Hindi with Ahan Shetty and Tara Sutaria in the lead roles, as Tadap.
