Vijay Deverakonda responded to rumours suggesting that he had filed police complaints against individuals trolling his recently released film, 'Family Star', co-starring Mrunal Thakur. Released in both Tamil and Telugu languages and directed by Parasuram Petla, the film elicited mixed reactions from audiences. While some fans appreciated it, others criticised it. Amidst these varying opinions, speculation arose that Vijay, via his manager, had initiated legal action against trolls. The Liger actor clarified that he had not taken any such action.
Film reporter Haricharan Pudipeddi posted on his X handle, sharing a screenshot of his WhatsApp conversation with the actor. In the screenshot, he presents a tweet alleging that Vijay has lodged a police complaint against individuals posting negative reviews of 'Family Star'. The tweet includes a picture of Vijay alongside police officers in what appears to be a press conference. The actor responded with a simple 'nope.' When questioned about the photo, Vijay explained that it was an old picture taken during the Covid-19 period.
