Telugu actor Vijay Deverakonda is on the way to establish himself as a popular pan Indian star. He was recently seen on celebrity photographer Dabboo Ratnani's calendar. He shared the photo from the calendar on his Instagram which features him sitting on bike sporting a rugged look. During an Instagram live session, Vijay revealed what the calender means to him and how he was inspired by superstar Shahrukh Khan for his journey.

Talking about the photoshoot, Vijay said, "It was a quick shoot, which is what I like about Dabboo. He knows what he wants and he gets it. Being featured in his calendar was always on my checklist and it finally happened in 2021.”

Then talking about his inspiration, Vijay talked about Shahrukh Khan. "I have seen Shah Rukh Khan a few times on the calendar and since then, I have wanted to feature in the calendar. I like how SRK came from Delhi with nothing and became the King. He is very cool and his journey is quite inspiring to me," he said.

Vijay is known for his films like 'Dear Comrade' and 'Arjun Reddy', and now he's all set to appear in his first pan Indian film, 'Liger'.
