Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday appeared in the third episode of Koffee With Karan 7. On the show, Karan asked Vijay about being an outsider in the Telugu film industry and whether he felt alienated.
On Koffee With Karan 7, Vijay Deverakonda said, "It's definitely not easy breaking in when you are like a start outsider with absolutely no access to the industry at all. It makes it much harder to be alienated. I don't know if I would say that. Basically, my thoughts on this are that the worlds are not fair. We are not all born with the same financial status, we are not born with the same height, with the same looks, or with the same physical abilities and I had never blamed someone or disliked someone for being born to a rich father may be where I was struggling to pay rent, to someone born in the industry. It's not her fault or any star kid's fault that they are born to a parent who are acting. One day I will have a kid who is born into a family, it has nothing to do with him and the world is never fair for anyone, in any field, it's always in equally, you just have to work your ass off to get where you want, if you want to. There are benefits to being born a star kid but I would not change anything in my journey. I am very grateful for every insult, every hardship, and every obstacle that I have faced in my life."
