The Vijay Deverakonda dude and the cigarette go together. The First Look of 'World Famous Lover', unveiled today, proves it once again. With a half-burnt cigarette in his hand, the actor seems to be saying, 'Dear Comrade, here I am, once again, smoking my way to intensity'.

In terms of flavour, the poster reminds us of his 'Arjun Reddy' still, which was far more stylish and subtle. After that 2017 cult classic, the Rowdy Star did it again in 'Taxiwaala' and 'Dear Comrade'.

Blogger Kartik Dayanand sees VD as a style icon who is doing what Rajinikanth and SRK did in the 1990s. "This man is single-handedly responsible for bringing back smoking into fashion among the youth. Our generation had Rajinikanth and Shah Rukh Khan; this one has Vijay Deverakonda as its role model," he says.

Is VD consciously doing the smoking stuff? We guess he is asking his directors to ensure such moments in his films.
