Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Arjun Reddy continues to divide public discourse for its candid interrogation of obsessive love and gender inflection
Filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga made a splash eight years ago with his bold and uncanny reinterpretation of the classic Devdas archetype in his debut film, Arjun Reddy. On the occasion of the film’s eighth anniversary, Vanga thanked the fans, cast and crew of his unconventional debut. It is a film that continues to divide public discourse for its candid interrogation of obsessive love and gender inflection.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga said, “Eight years ago, Arjun Reddy changed my life forever. What was close to my heart became a movement because of your love and immense support.”
Arjun Reddy, which launched Deverakonda to overnight stardom and victory alongside Shalini Pendez, was a blockbuster success.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga also shared a video of himself and Victory Deverakonda, presumably from a script discussion session eight years ago. He added, “Every frame, every dialogue, every emotion of this film got meaning because you embodied it with such credibility and passion.”
The director concluded, “I will forever be in awe of my artistry, my team and most importantly, all of you who are celebrating Arjun Reddy even after ages. It’s an eight-year journey that still feels fresh, raw and vibrant. Thank you for making it last.”
Sandeep Reddy Vanga is currently working on Prabhas’ Police Warehouse Spirit.
