Popular Telugu actor Vijay Deverakonda celebrates his birthday today (May 9). Starting his career from the 2011 movie Nuvvila, Deverakonda has come a long way in his career. The actor has delivered powerful performances in movies like Arjun Reddy, Geetha Govindam, Dear Comrade, Mahanati, and others. But did you know this superstar did a lot of things for the sake of getting some extra money?

Yes, you read that right! Apart from performing in small gigs, Vijay Deverakonda also once did a music video which he did because he was planning to buy a house.

During an old interaction with Film Companion, Deverakonda revealed that he movies for the sake of money. He also further said that he was ready to do anything as it was a necessity at that time.

When asked how much role money plays in his career decisions, the Liger actor told the portal, “Now it is zero. Now I work only if the content stimulates me and excites me. I’ve done lots of things for money in the past. There were movies that I did for money. There were small gigs where I had to make some sort of appearance. There’s a music video I did purely because I was planning to buy a house and I fell short of money.”

Vijay also said that though money does not excite him at this moment, there was a time when he did anything that paid him above Rs 10,000. He was quoted saying, “There was a time when I hustled and did anything that gave me Rs 10,000 and above. I was ready to do it because it was a necessity. Now money doesn’t excite me. It’s still important because I need to be paid for what I do. I know what I deserve and only if that is paid will I work. But it’s not a factor in decision making. Even if you show me obscene amounts of money I will not do something I don’t like.”

This Telugu superstar is now all set to make his big debut in Bollywood with the upcoming Pan-India movie Liger. The actor will be seen featuring opposite Ananya Panday in this movie.
