Alright, let's switch things up and talk about Bollywood heartthrob Vijay Deverakonda's unexpected clash on the pickleball court with Mumbai Indians' cricketer Tilak Varma!
Before the IPL 2025 battle between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans at the Wankhede Stadium, Vijay decided to swap his film set for the pickleball court. He teamed up with a partner to challenge Tilak and his teammate to a "best of three" pickleball match. To add some extra spice, Vijay bet that if he lost, he'd wear an MI jersey, but his competitive spirit helped him secure a 2-1 victory!
Now, things got a bit more entertaining when Vijay took to social media to claim his prize. He tagged Tilak and fellow MI player Raj Angad Bawa, demanding they create a dance reel to the song Hridayam Lopala from Vijay's upcoming film, Kingdom. With a wink and a nod to Tilak's understanding of lyrics, he challenged the batter to choreograph the dance, and promised to attend the Mumbai Indians playoffs in Hyderabad to cheer for them, just as long as they deliver on his demand.
The playful banter between Vijay and Tilak brought a fun twist to the IPL season buzz and kept fans on their toes. Vijay's intense transformation in Kingdom (Samrajya) is already making shockwaves, showing us a side of the actor we've never seen before. From raw power and gritty charm to fierce intensity, Vijay commands the screen like never before. So keep your eyes peeled for what's sure to be an electrifying and unforgettable performance!
