Vijay Deverakonda's popularity on Instagram has reached a new landmark figure. On Wednesday night, the rising star's followers count hit the magical 9 Million figure. He is the most popular male South Indian actor on the photo-sharing app.

On the work front, the 'World Famous Lover' actor hasn't been shooting for any film since March. The makers of his next film, 'Fighter', have long decided to postpone the release date to 2021. So, Puri Jagannadh and VD are chilling at home, with the former doing podcasts and the latter letting the hair down with his family.

Earlier in the week, the 'Arjun Reddy' actor's new film with director Sukumar was announced. The untitled entertainer, to be produced by VD's friend, Kedar Selagamsetty of Falcon Creations, will take off sometime in 2022. It will probably hit the screens in the same year.

Deverakonda is also scheduled to shoot a film with director Shiva Nirvana of 'Ninnu Kori' fame in 2021.
