After attaining pan-Indian stardom, actor Vijay Deverakonda successfully ventured into various businesses like the streetwear fashion line Rowdy, AVD multiplex and the film production house, King of the Hill Entertainment. Vijay has now become a co-owner of the Hyderabad Black Hawks, one of the country’s leading professional volleyball teams, and the sole representative of the Telugu states.
Apart from owning the franchise, Vijay will also be the brand ambassador for the Black Hawks, which is co-owned by Abhishek Reddy Kankanala. Talking about his new sports business, Vijay said, “The Black Hawks is more than just another sports team. To all of us, who proudly display our Telugu heritage, it is a representative of the Telugu people, and a symbol of our spirit and strength. I will do whatever it takes to take our team and our brand to all parts of India and beyond.”
The Hyderabad Black Hawks will soon take part in the RuPay Prime Volleyball League, a privately owned Indian professional volleyball league with eight teams from Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Calicut, Kochi, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Mumbai. The second season of the league will take place from the 4th of February till the 4th of March
