He made his debut in 2011 with Ravi Babu's romantic comedy Nuvvila (2011), but received acclaim with his supporting role in the upcoming drama Yevade Subramanyam (2015).

    In the 2016 romantic comedy Pelli Choopulu, winner of the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Telugu and the Filmfare Award for Best Film-Telugu, Vijay achieved stardom.
    Vijay progressively developed himself as a best actor in Telugu cinema by playing a leading role in critical and commercial successes such as Arjun Reddy (2017), Mahanati (2018), Geetha Govindam (2018), and Taxiwaala (2018), some of which rank among Telugu's top-rated films.

Deverakonda says his father used to label him a rowdy every time he did something they didn't approve of. With time, he and his followers continued to use the term for themselves.
    Vijay is considered to be confident in voicing forward his opinions on stage or interviews, and has garnered a great deal of attention (some of which were even critical in nature). His speech at the 2017 Arjun Reddy audio conference, where he taught Censor board openly and became a rage among young people and shot him overnight to prominence.
    He shouted the cuss words that were censored in the movie to the hundreds of young people and requested them to do the same in the theaters while his speech was silenced.

    Early life and struggle (2011–2015):

    Deverakonda made his film debut by featuring in the romantic comedy Nuvvila by Ravi Babu in 2011, and then portrayed a slight cameo role in Life is Beautiful by Sekhar Kammula. Both films were decently successful but didn't give much recognition to Deverakonda. Then at the time, he was introduced to an assistant producer, Nag Ashwin, who later cast him alongside actor Nani in a supporting role for the 2015 film Yevade Subramanyam. The film proved to be a critical and commercial success, and Deverakonda received strong praise for his language, strength, and performance in the film.
