Vijay Deverakonda talks about noticing attacks on film since his film ‘Dear Comrade ’
Vijay Deverakonda shared that he has been raising this issue for many years. He also added that since the time of his ‘Dear Comrade’, which was released in 2019, he has been noticing organised and targeted attacks against films. “Since the Days of Dear Comrade i first began to see the shocking politics of organised attacks. My voice all these years fell on deaf ears – i was told nobody can stop a good film. And every producer and director who then make a film with me, soon realises the scale of the issue,” he wrote.
The ‘Kingdom’ actor said he was glad the issue is now out in the open. He mentioned that if even a film starring someone as big as Megastar Chiranjeevi can face such threats, the problem is very real.Deverakonda wrote, “I have stayed up many nights wondering what kind of people do this, and how to deal with them to protect my dreams and dreams of many who will come like me and after me.. I am glad it is now out in the open and the court now recognises the threat to movies even starring someone as big and powerful as Megastar himself. This will not solve the problem entirely but become one less thing to worry about.” Lastly, he wished MSVPG and all other Sankranti releases great success at the box office. For the unversed, ahead of the Sankranti release, the booking platform suspended reviews and ratings for ‘Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu’. The action was taken following a court order. ‘Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu’ directed by Anil Ravipudi, the film also stars Nayanthara as the female lead.
