Actor Vijay Deverakonda was the chief guest at an event celebrating the success of the film Little Hearts.

Vijay Deverakonda talked about his initial days as an actor.

What Vijay said

At the event, the host noticed that the film's star Mouli Tanuj Prasanth wore a shirt from Vijay's Rwdy brand. She asked, in Telugu, whether he had gifted them apparel from his Rwdy wear collection or if they had stolen it because she had seen them wear only his brand clothes during promotions.

Vijay smiled and said, “I gifted to Mouli [Tanuj Prasanth] and [Sai] Marthand (the writer and director) bought it. I've seen him wearing Rwdy wear to all events and promotions. I wondered how many he would buy because I know what it's like when you start out. You can't always afford it. I wore movie costumes while promoting Yevade Subramanyam because I had no money to buy new clothes. So I gifted them clothes, but I didn't realise they're happily earning enough on Instagram.”

He concluded that he is very proud of the boys and the film they have made.
