Vijay Deverakonda has reacted to the news of the court’s order to block the reviews and ratings of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu (MSVPG) starring Chiranjeevi, ahead of its big release on Makarsankranti.

\n\n

Vijay Deverakonda, while speaking about the court’s decision, shared that he is both happy and sad about it.

Taking to his X account, Vijay shared a screenshot of a news article stating the court’s order about the suspension of ratings and reviews for Chiranjeevi’s upcoming film and wrote, “Happy and sad to see this, happy to know hard work, dreams, and money of many is protected in a way. And sad because of the reality of our own people causing these problems. What happened to live and let live? And growing together?”

He further continued, “Since the days of Dear Comrade, I first began to see the shocking politics of organised attacks. My voice all these years fell on deaf ears, I was told nobody can stop a good film. And every producer and director who then make a film with me soon realizes the scale of the issue. I have stayed up many nights wondering what kind of people do this, and how to deal with them to protect my dreams and the dreams of many who will come like me and after me…”

“I am glad it is now out in the open, and the court now recognises the threat to movies even starring someone as big and powerful as Megastar himself. This will not solve the problem entirely but become one less thing to worry about. For now, let’s wish #MSG and all other Sankranti films do extremely well by entertaining us all during the holidays,” Vijay concluded.
