Vijay Deverakonda has been seen promoting his on-release film Liger in the most economical footwear: the Hawaii chappal.The footwear has triggered off a nationwide discussion on why the stylish actor goes down to a basic home-level comfort when it comes to his feet.

When I asked Vijay he said, “Firstly I love remaining casual in whatever I wear, If you see my clothes they are neither expensive not flashy. I wear what I am comfortable in . The same goes for my footwear.”

The casual slippers also have a Liger connection.

Explains Vijay, “That’s how my character in Liger dresses. He is street-smart fighter.He gives off very casual vibes. He doesn’t give a damn about what people think of him. He is what he is.”
