Vijay Deverakonda is usually aggressive on stage. He is known for hyping up his films with his aggressive speeches. Now, Ram Gopal Varma has made an interesting comment, linking Vijay’s off screen behaviour and the recent boycott Liger teen in Bollywood.
“Vijay is naturally aggressive on stage. He has attention grabbing antics. But the fundamental reason why there was a Boycott Liger movement in Bollywood is because of Karan Johar who is associated with the project. Ever since Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise, it has become common for Bollywood folk to boycott Karan’s films,” Varma said.
Adding further, “Another factor here is humility. The Hindi folk were mesmerised with Jr NTR, Ram Charan and Prabhas. The down to earth nature of these stars impressed the Hindi audience. They were amazed to see the humility of the South stars after seeing the arrogance of Bollywood stars all along. Then Vijay came along with his natural aggressive speeches at Liger events and that also triggered them. Liger gave enough material for boycott movement,” Varma noted.
RGV says Vijay is a natural and he did all this only for his film, but the audience perception was different and hence the negativity on Liger.
