Did Deverakonda Ghost-Direct World Famous Lover?

Vijay Deverakonda’s latest film World Famous Lover  opened to mixed audience and critical  reaction this week. Though his  performance has come in  for praise, the  script and direction have been panned for  being muddled and below-expectation.

Apparently  the  director  Kranthi Madav and  Vijay Deverekonda couldn’t see eye to eye  on the  project.Sources say,  the director and his  leading man  had a massive fall-out mid-way  through the making  of World Famous Lover.

 “They  just couldn’t  jell together. Vijay who is  always an active  participant fromn behind the camera in all his starrers,was not  on the same page as  his director. The  film’s  episodes shaped up  very differently from how  Vijay imagined them. Yeah, it would be  correct to say  Vijay was disappointed.He finally had to take control.”

Apparently  Vijay personally re-shot several passages  of  the  film making us wonder  if he’s turning into a formal  director soon.The credit for  the  final shape given to World Famous Lover, goes  to  its leading man.

World Famous Lover has still not  come  up to audiences’ expectations. The general  feeling is that Vijay Deverakonda needs  to reinvent himself rather than play variations of Arjun Reddy  in film after film.
