He confidently wore hawai chappals at major events held for the movie promotions across India.

Revealing the reason behind his choice, the actor had had told TOI then: "I wear all sorts of things. Jab mood laga kuch bhi phenta hu (I wear whatever I feel like). See, 30 days I have to promote the film and then every day I have to look for shoes and clothes and it will take forever. So, one great chappal I bought and it is making my life easier...So, I just do what I feel like."

The actor had in the past often talked about his middle-class lifestyle despite his huge fan following and fame across India.

In 2022, Vijay Deverakonda made his Bollywood debut with 'Liger' where he was paired opposite Ananya Panday.
