When I wanted to enter films, I thought it would be enough if I didn't bring a bad name to my brother Vijay Deverakonda. I think W all my friends and family are proud today. Vijay believes in me, and we are like friends - The words are from Anand Devarakonda - the toast of the town as his love story 'Baby' with two other young actors, Vaishnavi and Viraj Ashwin, is doing wonderfully well at the box office.
The younger brother has had to start with the huge shadow of his super hit brother upon him - but for him, he says it has been something he enjoys. "It will be there forever. And, I love that. I and my brother are in different places. He wouldn't be able to pick the kind of films I choose to do," shares Anand answering one of the most repeated questions during an exclusive interview to Provoke Lifestyle.
Love for films was there forever, but it wasn't part of the plan for Anand Devarakonda, an Engineer with Masters in Business Administration. It took a theatre workshop to reveal his love for acting. And, today he enjoys being on sets. And, says more than the film it's the process of he being an actor and acting out the scenes written for him that gives him more joy.
