Tollywood star Vijay Deverakonda, known for his unfiltered candor, is currently working on one of the most anticipated films of the year, Kingdom. While the buzz around the film is steadily building, it’s not just the movie that’s drawing attention—it’s Vijay’s recent comments that have ignited a fresh wave of discussion online.
Shortly after the official announcement of the film’s release date, Deverakonda appeared in a promotional interview where he made a strikingly honest remark about his journey in the industry. Reflecting on the power dynamics in Telugu cinema, he said, “I can’t point out flaws in a director’s script because I have no backing in the industry. There’s no one behind me. But another hero whose father has influence can do that without hesitation.”
The statement quickly went viral, sparking widespread reactions across social media platforms. While some praised his honesty about the industry’s inner workings, others criticized him for seemingly playing the underdog card despite being a well-established star.
Though Kingdom was already generating attention, this candid comment has added a different kind of momentum to the film’s promotion. Whether it helps or hurts the film’s narrative remains to be seen, but for now, Vijay Deverakonda is once again at the center of the conversation—this time, not just for his acting, but for his outspoken views.
