The Internet Has Mixed Feelings About Vijay Deverakonda's "New Look"

Telugu actor Vijay Deverakonda, through the course of the coronavirus lockdown, has featured in only a handful number of posts. On Father's Day on Sunday, he shared a photo of himself wishing his father Deverakonda Govardhan Rao, which prompted mixed reactions from netizens. In the photo, Vijay Deverakonda can be seen sporting French beard and a moustachioed look with unkempt hair, which the Internet has termed as the actor's "new look." While most fans reacted to Vijay's "new look" with the heart emoji, several compared him to Telugu choreographer Rakesh Master and even asked him if he's considering starring in a Tarzan film. Vijay's Instagram is filled with comments asking the actor if he's aware of his uncanny resemblance with Rakesh Master.

This is the message Vijay Deverakonda dedicated to his dad on Father's Day: "'I am with you.' Is all he says everytime to my decisions, mistakes, risks, adventures and wars I take on. The first Deverakonda - Happy Father's Day Daddy - I love you."
