Can Keerthy Suresh Rescue Vijay Deverakonda’s Slumping Career?

The buzz currently in Telugu film circles is about the collaboration of Vijay Deverakonda and Keerthy Suresh for the first time in SVC59 with Ravi Kiran Kola at the directorial helm, that is being produced under Sri Venkateswara Creations. The project was recently launched through a special pooja ceremony that the makers captioned, “A Wild Beginning…LOVE-RAGE-BLOOD.” Fans filled with excitement await the coming together of this pair that should deliver the hit it has been waiting for since both stars have been fans enthused about the project.

From ‘Mahanati’ to SVC59: A Collaboration Long in Waiting

By this collaboration, the two on-screen stars have shared footage. Vijay Deverakonda and Keerthy Suresh did a cameo in the biopic, Mahanati (2018). They never even met on screen. While Savitri was enacted by Keerthy, Vijay was playing in a cameo opposite Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Now, after a few years, destiny has actually brought them together, as lead actors, creating major anticipation among Telugu audiences who await to see the developing chemistry unfolding on screen.

Vijay Deverakondas string of failures

Vijay has not made great choices in movies recently, and this has distanced many of his fans from him. After Arjun Reddy, he became the face of modern Telugu cinema. Both Liger and Family Star were badly received, both critically and commercially. His next, Kingdom (July 31,2025) was unenviable, as reviews were mixed, totaling 82.02 crore gross worldwide and with dwindling lives; audience trust seems to be below the surface; hence Vijay seeks a film that would remind fans of his powerful screen presence.

Krethy’s Battle for Strong Comebacks
Sure, Keerthy Suresh underwent rehabilitation; even sticks of the National Awards. After doing Dasara with Nani, none of her other films, Bhola Shankar, Siren, Maamannan, or Uppu Kappurambu, stood the test of time at the box office. She can still keep delivering her strong performances, but a true commercial hit has eluded her for some time.

As SVC59 has got a lot into consideration, both stars are also on a redemptive arc. ‘Love, Rage, Blood’ is assumed to be gritty emotive drama with mass appeal. If executed well, this collaboration could herald a new chapter in their careers-one through maturity, chemistry, and reinvigorated audience connection.
