Vijay Deverakonda hopes for a release by Arnold Schwarzenegger

The actor wishes for Arnold Schwarzenegger to release his film’s trailer one day.

Vijay Deverakonda, who is back in Hyderabad after a 15-day holiday, was at the release of the Telugu version of Terminator Dark Fate, starring the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger. “I remember when I was young, I’d wanted to watch the film 300 at Dilsukhnagar, but my friend didn’t know English, so we went to watch the dubbed film. I remember getting so irritated watching it because of how badly it was dubbed. But now, the dubbing quality has so much improved, that it is like watching a normal Telugu film,” says the actor.

The actor recalls watching and enjoying The Terminator when it was screened in his school. “Today, I am releasing the trailer of the Telugu version of Arnold Schwarzenegger film, but I hope that soon, our Telugu films will be dubbed in English and they release in Hollywood. Imagine my film World Famous Lover being dubbed into English and the trailer being releasing by Arnold! Given the improvement in the quality of Telugu cinema, I am hoping that it will go places,” the actor adds.

And while he knows it will take another five to ten years for him to come up with a film like Arnold’s, he believes Tollywood already has someone who can probably try. “Prabhas anna can do this kind of film in Telugu,” says the actor.

Vijay then talks about his upcoming film with Puri Jagan, saying that he is trying something different. “It’s an action-packed film and I’m trying to show my six-pack, so we have to see how it is going to shape up,” he says, adding that now that he’s back from the holiday, he hopes to get on a strict diet.
