Was Vijay Deverakonda targeting anyone? Why the misinterpretation?

Tollywood hero Vijay Deverakonda is currently awaiting the release of his upcoming film Kingdom, which is hitting the big screens across the globe on July 31. Ahead of the release of the film, Vijay has started to promote it aggressively on social platforms.

Recently, a few online narratives have misrepresented Vijay Deverakonda’s statement about his journey as an outsider in the film industry. He shared that, unlike star kids from film families, he didn’t have the privilege early on to question or suggest changes in scripts.

This wasn’t aimed at any individual or group. It was a genuine reflection on how people from different backgrounds experience the industry differently. Those with family connections often have early access to knowledge, mentorship, and networks, while outsiders learn through trial and error. This isn’t unique to cinema, it’s true in many professions.

Vijay was simply highlighting that difference based on his personal experience. Twisting his words or quoting him out of context to create controversy only leads to misinformation and distracts from the real message.

Respecting the full context of someone’s words is essential. Let’s stop distorting narratives and start encouraging honest, open conversations that reflect the realities many face.

It is strange to see that so much misinterpretation is happening around this statement as the actor made a generic statement, but it got diverted into multiple platforms.
