Vijay Deverakonda is no stranger to controversy. From his 2017 romantic entertainer Arjun Reddy to the “Boycott Liger Trend,” the Dear Comrade star has often grabbed headlines for the wrong reasons.

Today, we’ll revisit Vijay Deverakonda’s most contentious utterances. Look.

Arjun Reddy debate

Everyone knows Arjun Reddy. The film made Arjun Deverakonda famous but was criticized for promoting toxic masculinity and misogyny under the guise of love. Netizens debated his girlfriend-slapping scene for a long time. It asked what love allows.

Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani starred in Hindi remake Kabir Singh of Arjun Reddy.

“Boycott” is a current trend in Indian cinema. Before the debut of VD’s next action drama, Liger, on August 25, ‘Boycott Liger Trend’ trended online. In response, Vijay Deverakonda quipped, “Kaun rokega dekh lenge (we’ll see who can stop us)” at a movie promotion event.

After the statement, film executive Manoj Desai called the actor “arrogant”. VD visited Hyderabad to clear the air.

The film executive posted an emotional video on social media, adding, “He is a really very kind guy, down to earth, I will keep loving him always. I promise to take all his pics. Wishing him well. When I met Vijay, I learned he considers his film team. I apologized to Amitabh Bachchan and Vijay Deverakonda.”

Vijay Deverakonda’s democracy ideals are equally unpopular. In an interview with the Film Companion, his remarks raised eyebrows. “I don’t even think everyone should be able to vote,” said Arjun Reddy, sparking controversy. “Why we’re having money and cheap liquor sway a vote, is ludicrous,” he continued.

Rich folks shouldn’t vote. Rich folks shouldn’t vote. I think the middle class, who have the most at risk, educated people who won’t be swayed by small money… I don’t think everyone should be allowed to vote because they don’t know who or why they’re voting.”

“If I could be a dictator,” he added. That’s my recommendation. That’s how you change. ‘Just shut up…I’m trying’. Stick to this, and it will pay off in 5-10 years. “Dictatorship can work, but you need a good guy.”

Media relations

During another Liger news conference, a journalist reminded Vijay Deverakonda that he could talk to the media more freely during Taxiwala’s release in 2018. The journalist suggested him put his feet up to relax. “Let’s converse freely,” the actor said, putting his feet up. The incident sparked attitude rumours.

“Anybody wanting to progress in their field,” he tweeted, ending the rumors. We fight back. When you are honest and desire the best for everyone, people and God will love you.
