The success meet of Vijetha starring Chiranjeevi’s son-in-law Kalyan Dhev was held in Hyderabad on Sunday with Allu Arjun as the chief guest. However, the event, which was supposed to start at 1 o’ clock in the afternoon, got delayed because of Kalyan Dhev, who came late.
Interestingly, Chiranjeevi is known for his discipline and punctuality to date. But it seems his son-in-law, who is new to the industry, doesn’t believe in following in his footsteps.
“Bunny (Allu Arjun) was waiting at home from 12 noon onwards to come to this event, but Kalyan didn’t come, so he kept waiting,” says a source, adding that although Kalyan was with Chiranjeevi at the latter’s house, he didn’t respond to any calls.
“Finally, the event organisers called Kalyan and told him that Bunny (Allu Arjun) had to attend a family lunch at which point, Kalyan started from home,” adds the source.
Meanwhile, female lead Malavika Nair also arrived early and kept waiting for Kalyan, with the organisers requesting her to wait it out.
The event finally started after Kalyan Dhev arrived at 1.45 pm. And sadly, the actor did not even apologise for his tardiness. “I just landed some time ago from Vijayawada,” he said as he began his speech. Interestingly, many of the team members, who also landed from Vijayawada, came to the event on time.
Allu Arjun praised Kalyan Dhev for his debut performance and congratulated him. The actor also expressed his wish to work with Sai Korrapati, the film’s producer.
“I like all your films and you have always made films with passion. So I would like to work with Varahi films and we will work together when good content comes our way,” said the star.
