Actor Vijay Deverakonda didn’t hold back while sharing his emotions at the pre-release event of Suriya’s upcoming film Retro. Speaking candidly, the Arjun Reddy star revealed that recent historical dramas like Chhaava and Kesari Chapter 2 left him feeling angry and emotional.
During a fun interaction at the event, host Suma asked Vijay whom he would like to meet if he could travel back in time. His answer surprised the audience.
“I want to meet the British and give them two tight slaps,” Vijay said, referring to the events depicted in Kesari Chapter 2. He then spoke about Chhaava, adding, “I recently watched Chhaava, and it enraged me. I’d probably take the opportunity to give Aurangzeb two to three tight slaps also. I want to meet so many others like that, just to hit them. Right now, it’s all I can think of.”
