Vijay talks about his remuneration during Family Star event

A video of Vijay Deverakonda is going viral on social media wherein he is talking about getting paid well as per the market standard. He said, "I started to see little money only recently, around Kushi. As an outsider, one shouldn’t think about money at first. One should worry about cementing his style, and performances; my work in the films should speak first. Outside, a lot is said about how much I am earning and all that. I earned peanuts till 'Kushi'. Only after that film, I started taking my market price."
