Vijay Deverakonda recently found himself in controversy after making comments at the pre-release event of Suriya's 'Retro' movie. The comments, which compared contemporary socio-political turmoil to tribal clashes that happened 500 years ago, were perceived as derogatory by some members of the public. However, Vijay has since clarified that his words were misinterpreted and that he holds respect for everyone and every group.

Vijay explained that his use of the word "tribe" was historical and referred to a period in history when all human societies existed in tribes and clans. He emphasized that his comment was made to underscore togetherness and not separation. Realizing that his words could have been misinterpreted or offensive, Vijay apologized sincerely and assured the public that his intention was not to discriminate or target any group. He remains committed to using his platform to create harmony and uplift communities.

A police complaint has been filed against Vijay Deverakonda over the alleged derogatory remarks, with some tribal associations condemning his statement and seeking an apology. However, Vijay's clarification and apology have been seen as a testament to his commitment to national cohesion and respect among all communities.

The incident highlights the sensitivity of language, particularly in a multi-faceted nation like India. Public figures hold great influence, and what they say tends to be under scrutiny. Vijay's reaction reminds us of the need for effective communication and the need to make sure messages of unity are sent without confusion.

\r\nAllu Arjun talks about six pack secrets, Pushpa Pallu Scene and AA22xA6. Allu Arjun speaking at WAVES 2025 shared the secrets as to why he worked hard for six pack, the saree scene in Pushpa The Rule and his next project AA22 xA6.\r\nAbout Mega Star Chiranjeevi\r\n&ldquo;My uncle, who is Megastar Chiranjeevi, is also a friend to me and he is one of my greatest inspirations, and the person who probably had one of the biggest impacts on me... When you have so many stars like this in the family, it humbles you in many ways, and it\'s also very, very helpful when you have a support system in your family.&rdquo;\r\nOn Six Pack\r\n&ldquo;Honestly, it&rsquo;s about just the mindset. You know, twenty years back, to do something that was never done before by any other south actor&hellip;culturally it was not accepted, there were many taboos around that. I knew that it was a great sign, that if you just do it once, it takes one person to break that jinx.&rdquo;\r\n&ldquo;Someone motivated me to do that by saying, I don&rsquo;t think any south actors can come up with six packs. One of the actresses whom I worked with said that. And I took that up as a challenge. Then, I just did it for my people.&rdquo;\r\nOn Pushpa The Rule saree scene\r\n&ldquo;It was a shot in the trailer, and it was also in one of the first teasers for Pushpa 2. I don&rsquo;t know how many people have seen it. We started shooting it, and it was a very complex shot, and it took 70 to 80 takes. We started in the morning around 8:30 am, and around 11 am, I started to get the rhythm of it. Finally, by around 2:30 pm, we got the shot&rdquo;.\r\n&ldquo;They had run out of all the numbers and the alphabets, so I just told them to take the clap out of it and said, &lsquo;Whichever is the last take is the perfect one&rsquo;, and we are going to do it until we get it right... We finally did it in 85th or 78th shot... We lost count,\"\r\nAbout AA22xA6\r\n&nbsp;&ldquo;Yes, it\'s my twenty-second film it\'s with Atlee garu who directed Jawaan and many other superhit films in the South. So, we have come together. I really liked the idea that he told me and I like his aspirations and I felt we were like minds in many levels. We hope to bring a very new visual spectacle film to Indian Cinema. It will be a very International representation film with total Indian sensibilities.&rdquo;\r\n

Rowdy Star Vijay Devarakonda, speaking at WAVES 2025, dissected why Brad Pitt earns more than him or any other star in India and shared his views on Hollywood vs Indian Cinema.\r\nHe said&nbsp; &ldquo;As an actor, a lot of times I&rsquo;ve been very angry. I don&rsquo;t know how to say this, I hope this does not get me into trouble, but I feel we need to expand our kingdom. That all of us are conversing in English is a big soft power win for the West because they came in hundreds of years ago and made sure all of us were speaking and writing in their language. Now it&rsquo;s too late to backtrack,&rdquo;\r\nHe continued&nbsp; &ldquo;Because some buggers did this 200-300 years ago for whatever purpose, now Hollywood has the biggest budgets and directors because all of us know and watch films in English. If I do a film and Brad Pitt does a film, he will get paid 100x more than I just because more people are watching his language. Which is not my fault, but the fault of some guys who went and spread that language.&rdquo;\r\nHe added &ldquo;I feel if our ancestors were more proactive and made the world speak in Hindi or Telugu, we would all be&hellip;I have a bit of a grouse. Cinema is one thing that keeps us close to our language.&rdquo;
