Actor Vijay Deverakonda's team has taken action against individuals who have been making malicious comments about the actor and his recent film, ‘Family Star.’ His manager and the president of his fans' club filed a complaint with the Cyberabad Police in Madhapur, Hyderabad against these trolls.
A representative for Vijay shared a picture on X showing his team filing the complaint with the police.
He wrote, ‘Cyber Crime Complaint lodged against individuals who are part of orchestrated attacks and planned negative campaigns targeting The #FamilyStar movie and actor #VijayDeverakonda. The police officials started taking action already and are tracing the fake ids and users and assured due course. @CyberCrimeshyd #TheFamilyStar.’
It is claimed that these negative campaigns have affected the box office performance of ‘Family Star.’
Talking to TV9, producer Dil Raju claimed that the audience loves Family Star despite the negativity about it online. He said, ‘The family audience is loving the film, they’re enjoying the film. We have made a good film, everyone I meet is confused why the film is getting such negative reactions.’
He added, ‘I heard in Kerala they’re debating on curbing reviews the first few days of the film’s release. Something similar needs to happen in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana. People don’t understand how much it effects producers, it’s not okay to rub your opinion on others.’
Directed by Parasuram Petla, "Family Star" marks Vijay's second collaboration with the director after the 2018 hit "Geetha Govindam." The film is Mrunal Thakur's third Telugu film following the successful "Sita Ramam" and "Hi Nanna." "Family Star" was released in theaters last Friday but received lukewarm reviews from both critics and fans. According to sacnilk.com, the film earned approximately ₹11.95 crore at the box office in its first three days.
