Vijay Devarakonda made all the controversies and headlines for his Arjun Reddy film. He did not care anything and even went against political leaders, asking them to "Chill".
But for Geeta Govindam, he is taking a back step in regards to "What The F" song which he sang for the first time in his career. He also said he may never sing again.
Vijay Devarakonda said, "I don't think we meant to hurt anyone's sentiments. It was just meant to be a fun song, and not meant to make any statement. The song is not vital to the film. We could change the lyrics.
When for 'Arjun Reddy', I was targeted for swearing and when people said the kisses were obscene, I fought back. But I thought the kisses and swearing were vital to 'Arjun Reddy'. But now since a few women's organisations and some religious factions have objected, I'd be glad to remove it.
It's a fun film meant to be watched by the entire family. After my adult film 'Arjun Redy', 'Geetha Govindam' is my full-on Disney-Barjatya wholesome entertainer.
"As for the song, I didn't think we were hurting any sentiments. If people haven't digested it, we had no qualms taking it down. We will replace it with another song.
It is a bit convenient. But right now that's how things are. And both my producers and I felt it is better not to hurt anyone's sentiments right now. Sadly this was my first attempt at singing on screen, and undertaken because my production house and my director were insistent.
"I just decided to do it for kicks. If I am a singer at all, this is the best I could do. I know I have a limited range. And unless I take singing lessons, I doubt I can do better than this," said Vijay Devarakonda saying he may never sing again.
He reasserted, "But as I said we're only to glad to pull down the song if that I what would make the protesters happy."
