Vijay was seen wearing plain footwear during the events, and he has ditched high-fi, fancy shoes. Even Ranveer Singh was surprised over Deverakonda's choice. Vijay's public appearance has grabbed attention, and many were left baffled thinking his reason behind adopting a chappal worth Rs 199.

Vijay's stylist has confirmed that the actor himself suggested the idea of adopting a chappal for the promotions, as this will be true to his character.

"Liger promotions have been something I was really really looking forward to. There were so many brands and designers constantly following up to construct/design looks for Vijay. I was all prepped to make it really top-notch chill until Vijay called me one day and said let's be closest to the character and keep a very underdog look," Vijay’s hairstylist was quoted saying.
