In this campaign, many big names from the Telugu industry like Mahesh Babu, Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna held hands with Vijay against derogatory reporting.
Vijay Deverakonda tells in an interview with The News Minute that, “We have for long let them be, being patient, overlooking, not wanting to waste energy on negative people. And each and everyone in the Telugu film industry has been a victim. Since I put out the video, I have had actors, directors, producers all call me up passionately. You could hear voices of people wronged, maligned, hurt, for a long time. Everything bottled up came out and now it’s time to take on the scurrilous mafia.”
