Vijay Deverakonda's rugged look for 'VD 12' leaks, producers plead for patience

Vijay Deverakonda's upcoming film, 'VD 12', has been generating significant buzz, particularly after photos from the set recently leaked online.

Known for his versatile roles and charismatic screen presence, Deverakonda is set to portray a spy in this highly anticipated film directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. 

While the actor has been keeping his look under wraps, a couple of photos from the sets have surfaced online, revealing his rugged appearance. The leaked photos, which went viral on X, show Vijay with cropped hair and a beard.

In one photo, he is seated on the pillion seat of a bike riding along the beach coast. In the second photo, he looks directly at the camera while filming a scene in what seems to be a village festival.

The leaked images stirring excitement among fans and prompting the film's producers to request discretion as they prepare for an official unveiling.

Hours after the leak, the film’s producer issued a statement, requesting fans not to circulate the photos. Naga Vamsi’s Sithara Entertainments took to X, revealing that the team is working hard in Sri Lanka to wrap up the film, with 60% of it already completed. They requested fans to refrain from sharing the leaked photos, emphasizing their efforts to keep details under wraps for a significant official unveiling.

“For the past six months, we have been preserving the first look for a red hot official unveiling. We kindly ask you to refrain from sharing any leaks and wait for the official announcement. Coming very soon!” the producers added.

We share your excitement and enthusiasm! We kindly request you to refrain from sharing any leaks.

The #VD12 OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT will be coming very soon! ❤️‍🔥@TheDeverakonda @anirudhofficial @gowtam19 #GirishGangadharan @vamsi84 #SaiSoujanya @NavinNooli @SitharaEnts… pic.twitter.com/IiXlWHllEG
