Fri May 09 10:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Vijay Deverakonda’s Birthday Surprise: New Period Action Drama Announced
**Hyderabad, May 9, 2025** – Actor Vijay Deverakonda (“Rowdy”) celebrated his birthday today with the announcement of his next film, tentatively titled *VD14*. The first-look poster, released this evening, reveals a period action drama set between 1854 and 1873, depicting a warrior in meditation.
This marks a reunion between Deverakonda and director Rahul Sankrityan, following their previous collaboration on *Taxiwala*. While maintaining the surprise element of a unique genre, as seen in *Taxiwala*, *VD14* is described as a different kind of period entertainer, rich in interesting elements. Sankrityan, known for his horror dramas and period pieces, is confident in the project’s success.
The film’s announcement comes at a crucial time for Deverakonda, who is currently experiencing a less successful phase in his career and needs a box office hit. This new period action drama, produced by Mythri Movie Makers, follows another period film, *Kingdom*, currently in production. While the success of *Kingdom* may influence the reception of *VD14*, the filmmakers remain optimistic. Principal photography is set to commence shortly.
