Actor Vijay Deverakonda, who is currently busy promoting his forthcoming romantic drama ‘Kushi’, was asked about Chiranjeevi in a negative way during an event and the actor the journalist a befitting reply.

Vijay said that superstars Rajinikanth and Chiranjeevi are beyond hits and flops.

‘Rajinikanth sir gave 5-6 back-to-back flops. But he came back again with a blockbuster like Jailer. Then we should shut up and watch,' said Vijay.

Talking about Chiranjeevi, he said, ‘Chiranjeevi may have 6-7 flops back to back. But if the right director gets his energy, he will come back with a sensation like he did this Sankranti. Chiru sir changed the industry. When he came, the action, dance and performance there changed completely. He inspired many people to enter the industry.’

He further said that actors should not be judged on the basis of hits and flops and should be respected for inspiring many people to enter the industry. He added that he feels it is disrespectful to make comments on senior actors.
