Telugu star Vijay Deverakonda has revealed the destination where he will send 100 of his fans on an all-expenses-paid holiday.
Introducing himself in a video as “Devera Santa”, the actor announced that the fans will be taken on a five-day trip to Manali, with food, travel and accommodation taken care of by him.
“100 of you go to the mountains, Update! Happy new year. Big kisses and lots of love to all of you,” Deverakonda tweeted.
On Christmas, the “Arjun Reddy” actor had taken to Twitter with a poll to decide the destination that a 100 lucky fans would get to travel to. The announcement was part of Deverakonda’s annual Christmas tradition of playing Santa by surprising his fans with gifts.
Voters could choose between four destinations – mountains of India, beaches of India, culture trip of India or deserts of India.

“I asked you where you guys wanted to go and (in) every poll, you chose the mountains. So to the mountains we go,” he said in the video.
“You’re going to see snow-capped mountains, you’re going to see temples, monasteries, and we have lots of activities planned.”
He asked those interested to fill out a form. 100 people will be selected from the applicants. Only people above 18 are eligible for the trip, Deverakonda said.
It is not clear how the 100 people will be chosen or announced.
Vijay Deverakonda has been playing Santa for the last five years. Last year, he gave away Rs 1 million by gifting Rs 10,000 each to a 100 people. Before that, in 2020, he and his team spent Christmas time visiting children’s homes in and around Hyderabad to surprise 600 children with chocolates, clothes and shoes.
