Malobika Banerjee, a Bengali actress, and Vijay Deverakonda previously collaborated on the song video Nee Venakale Nadichi. After the release of Arjun Reddy, Vijay had gained a fair amount of popularity as an actor. They have stayed close ever since. Malobika was caught off guard by that particular situation, and she even wished to call attention to the actor. You know what it is?
Last seen with Ananya Panday in the all-Indian film Liger, which was released, was Vijay. The movie may have generated a lot of buzz prior to release, but once it hit the theatres, it suffered a severe box office failure.
Malobika Banerjee recounted the time the actor made fun of the “Hindi” language while she and Vijay were filming the music video in an interview with News18. She related the incident, saying, “When he was shooting with me, he couldn’t speak Hindi, and I generally spoke in that language when working. Vijay was laughing and making fun of me when I tried to speak to him in Hindi while we were filming, saying that he doesn’t comprehend the language and that it sounds like Hebrew. He started speaking to me in Telugu. After ridiculing the language, I was shocked to see Liger’s promo for his upcoming Hindi feature. (laughs) After all of that, he is a nice and professional person.
Later on in the interview, she added how startled she was to learn that Vijay had agreed to star in a Hindi film. Malobika Banerjee continued, “I wanted to tell people about how he was insulting Hindi and now is shooting a Hindi film, but I didn’t do it because he is my dear buddy during the film’s promotion. However, I sent him a note stating “Welcome to Bollywood” and attached the Liger poster. Then I discovered that the movie doesn’t actually have all that many Hindi dialogues by him.
