Vijay Deverakonda

 “I had to fight for money, for respect. I had to fight to make a mark for myself, to get work. Every film was a struggle, a fight. For my first film, we did not get a producer for it. We had pooled in money, we had worked for free on the film so that it could be made and so that it can get the love of the audience. We did not even find people to release it. It took us months because we were nobody, but the film was a huge hit."
