“Chains and Golden Weapons: Inside Vijay Deverakonda’s Stunning New Film Launch”

Hyderabad: Hero Vijay Deverakonda is ready to set the global stage on fire. On Saturday, April 18, 2026, the “Rowdy” star officially announced his next major project, tentatively titled #VDxShouryuv, sending shockwaves through social media with an intense and visually arresting first-look poster.

Coming off the massive buzz of his upcoming periodic drama Ranabaali, Deverakonda is pivoting to a gritty, high-concept narrative directed by Shouryuv, who previously touched hearts with the emotional drama Hi Nanna. However, if today’s poster is any indication, Shouryuv is trading tears for “wild imagination and intense heart.”

The striking announcement poster features Vijay Deverakonda in a rugged, commanding avatar, walking forward while holding four dogs on metal chains. Behind him, a formidable technical team follows, brandishing an array of golden weapons—including axes, swords, shields, and bows. The tagline, “All this anger was once love,” has already sparked intense fan theories about a story rooted in betrayal and transformation.

What sets this project apart is the recruitment of a “firecracker” global team, signaling that Vyra Entertainments is aiming for a production of international scale.
