Vijay Varma on being snubbed from posters
In a recent podcast, Vijay was asked about the journey of his placement in posters. The actor responded, “Poster's journey started when I did a film named ‘Monsoon Shootout’. I was the lead in that film. Some of my work did not come out and the film got delayed but when the film was released, the poster was completely changed...from there my poster journey started.”
