He later had a brief stint in theater.

Deverakonda’s debut film, Nuvvila, and his second project, Life is Beautiful failed to give him the desired kick start in the industry. After this, the actor struggled for two years as he had no work. During the gap, pressure was building up at his home. Deverakonda was asked to do MBA or get a job instead of pursuing acting by family.

Considering that Deverakonda was a good student in college, and topped in exams, his family questioned why he was still interested in movies, however, when Yevade Subramanyam ended up being a hit, his family became very supportive of his ambition. Deverakonda later became a star overnight with the super hit movie Arjun Reddy. He is making his Bollywood debut with Liger opposite Ananya Pandey.
