Vijay Deverakonda’s big statement: Expresses happiness and disappointment over the ‘film review ban’

Entertainment: Actor Vijay Deverakonda has expressed mixed reactions to the recent court order that bans film reviews and ratings on ticketing platforms for Chiranjeevi’s upcoming entertainer, “Man Shankar Vara Prasad Garu.” This move aims to curb the organized negative campaigns and unfair rating practices that often target films during release. Directed by Anil Ravipudi, “Man Shankar Vara Prasad Garu” is scheduled to release on January 12th, coinciding with the festival of Sankranti. Reacting to this development on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, Vijay Deverakonda shared a candid note expressing both relief and disappointment. He wrote that he was glad to know that the hard work, dreams, and financial investments of many associated with the film were somewhat safe. He also lamented the fact that such measures were necessary due to people within the industry and audiences who deliberately spread negativity. Questioning this mindset, Vijay asked what happened to the idea of ​​”live and let live” and moving forward together as an industry. The actor also recalled his own experiences, explaining that he first learned about organized attacks during the release of his film, Dear Comrade. Vijay explained that he had previously raised this issue, but his concerns were often dismissed with the statement, “No one can stop a good film.” However, he explained that later, the producers and directors he worked with finally realized the severity and scale of the problem. Vijay further explained that he spent many sleepless nights wondering who was behind such targeted negativity and how to deal with them, not only to save his own dreams but also the hopes of many others who had come to the industry with hope. He concluded by saying that while such issues may not be completely eradicated, such steps can at least alleviate a major concern. For now, he wishes MSG and all the other Sankranthi releases great success in entertaining the audience during the festive season.
