Here’s why Vijay Deverakonda wears chappals for Liger promotions

Vijay Deverakonda has made a rather bizarre style statement by showing up in chappals for Liger promotions. The actor toured different cities across India to promote Liger ahead of his big release. In a recent interview, Vijay Deverakonda revealed the reason for wearing slippers with almost every outfit during promotions. And it’s safe to say we agree with the Arjun Reddy actor!

VIJAY DEVERAKONDA REVEALS WHY HE WAS WEARING CHAPPALS FOR LIGER PROMOTIONS

Vijay Deverakonda’s highly anticipated film Liger is gearing up for a big release on August 25th. The film will be released in five languages.

For the promotions, Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday along with the crew attended events across India. What caught everyone’s attention were the Dear Comrade actor’s chappals. However, he had a valid reason for wearing slippers for promotions.

Speaking to The Times of India, Vijay Deverakonda said, “I know it’s a blockbuster (Liger) with Chappals and cross legs… I wear all kinds of things. Jab mood laga kuch bhi phenta hu (I wear you see, 30 days I have to promote the movie and then every day I have to look for shoes and clothes and it will take forever. So, a great chappal that I bought and I makes life easier… So I come and do what I want.”

According to Vijay Deverakonda’s stylist, Harmann Kaur, the actor bought chappals worth Rs 199 as it is closest to his character in Liger.
