Tollywood and pan-India star Vijay Deverakonda is gearing up for an exciting phase in 2026 with two major film projects where he will play powerful roles inspired by real life. The films — Rana Baali and Rowdy Janardhana — are shaping up as very different stories, showing Vijay’s range as an actor and bringing distinct real-life tales to the big screen.
In Rana Baali, directed by Rahul Sankrityan, Vijay plays a strong historical character rooted in real events. This film marks another big collaboration with producer Mythri Movie Makers and includes co-star Rashmika Mandanna, reuniting a popular onscreen pair. The story is set against a rich backdrop and promises emotional depth and dramatic intensity.
On the other hand, Rowdy Janardhana, directed by Ravi Kiran Kola, showcases Vijay in a raw and gritty avatar. This film draws viewers into a real-life inspired narrative that feels intense and action-driven, offering a contrasting role to his Rana Baali character.
Both films are designed to highlight Vijay’s acting strengths and his ability to portray complex, layered personalities. Fans and industry watchers are highly excited, as these roles could be among his most memorable performances yet.
