In a new interview that has created a buzz among fans and industry observers alike, Telugu sensation Vijay Deverakonda openly expressed his respect for multi-faceted actor Dhanush and his wish to act under his direction. This surprise statement has generated extensive buzz on social media, with fans from the Tamil and Telugu industries alike already fantasizing about a possible collaboration that could revolutionize cross-industry storytelling in South Indian cinema.
Vijay Deverakonda, who is popular for his energetic performances, unapologetic interviews, and unconventional film choices, has never hesitated to talk about how much he looks up to other performers and directors. But here, his praise is not solely positive — it implies a genuine desire to be a part of a cinematic experience with Dhanush, who has been consistently garnering a reputation as a serious and distinctive filmmaker.
A Convergence of Two Unique Talents
Dhanush, who has worn multiple hats with success — actor, singer, producer, lyricist, and director — directed Pa Paandi in 2017, his debut as a director. The film was critically acclaimed for its emotional depth, unpretentious yet powerful storytelling, and sensitive handling of relationships. Although he has directed only one feature film to date, his artistic sensibilities and grasp of character-driven stories make him one of the most admired creative minds in the business.
Conversely, Vijay Deverakonda is a comparatively newer name in Indian cinema but has already emerged as one of the most bankable and popular actors in Telugu cinema. Famous for movies such as Arjun Reddy, Geetha Govindam, Dear Comrade, and Kushi, Vijay has carved a niche for himself with his powerful screen presence and realist portrayals. He has immense fan support, especially among youngsters, and keeps growing his footprint in pan-Indian cinema.
The idea of a partnership between these two — one a dynamic performer and the other a intelligent director — provides enormous possibilities with regard to story and cinematic exploration.
More Than Just Admiration: A Deep Creative Respect
While being interviewed, Vijay did not simply mention Dhanush casually. He went on to describe what attracts him to Dhanush’s directorial talent. He praised Dhanush’s ability to tap into the human condition in grounded storytelling, his skill at conveying nuanced emotional transitions, and how he brings authenticity to his scripts.
Deverakonda said he sees Dhanush not only as an extraordinary actor but also as a filmmaker with a strong vision. “There’s something raw and beautiful in the way Dhanush tells stories. If he ever plans to direct again, I’d love to be a part of it,” Vijay commented. These words were not just a tribute but a sincere signal of his willingness to collaborate on a serious creative level.
Such inter-industry mutual respect has grown increasingly prevalent over the past decade with the crossing of boundaries between regional cinemas. Talent and performers increasingly cross language and regional divides to come together in new, thrilling combinations. This is precisely when a Dhanush-Vijay film is both apt and inevitable.
What Would a Dhanush-Vijay Film Look Like?
As of yet, even the rumor of an official confirmation does not exist. Speculation, however, has already started. Fans of cinema and social media accounts are dreaming of what kind of genres or plots the two could do if this fantasy comes to life. Would it be a rustic emotional drama against a rural setting? A psychological thriller? A contemporary relationship story? Or a raw coming-of-age tale?
With Dhanush having a penchant for emotionally grounded storytelling and Vijay’s talent to present conflicted characters with depth, the movie has the potential to be an intense and personally charged story. The fans wish that such a film would not only target box office figures but might set a benchmark for cinematic technique and depth of storytelling in South Indian films.
Others even wonder if Dhanush may already have a script in mind where Vijay would be a perfect fit. After all, Dhanush has always been one to insist that he likes working with actors who are honest and passionate about their work — qualities that Deverakonda undoubtedly possesses.
South Indian Cinema’s Era of Collaborations
South Indian cinema has, over the last ten years, become a united, forceful voice that cuts across linguistic barriers. Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam actors have begun to work with each other increasingly. This new regional integration has given rise to many successful and memorable movies.
In this broader context, a partnership between Vijay and Dhanush might be symbolic of this new era. It would be more than a movie — it would be a symbol of the increasing solidarity and creative crossover between South Indian film industries. With platforms like OTT driving the demand for pan-Indian content and theatrical releases going wider, such collaborations are not only possible but profitable and culturally relevant.
What’s Coming Up for the Stars?
Vijay Deverakonda is otherwise occupied with his next projects, such as a new untitled romantic drama and a pan-India action movie. Dhanush has a busy schedule as well with multiple acting engagements in both Tamil and Hindi films, and whispers about him helming another film soon still do the rounds.
If the planets align and both the actors find something to work on in a script that they are both enthusiastic about, there is every chance we could see this pair come together on screen in the near future. Industry people claim Dhanush is willing to return behind the camera if the right tale wills him to do so — and with Vijay having shown an interest, it could very well be the kick that gets Dhanush back in the director’s chair.

Whether or not this collaboration materializes soon, it has already become one of the most talked-about potential pairings in recent memory.
