It has been clarified that actor Vijay Deverakonda hasn’t endorsed anything that is not legally permissible. In endorsing a skill-based game online, he has only worked within the ambit of the law.
Here is the official statement from his team in this regard:
“This is to inform the public and all concerned parties that Mr. Vijay Deverakonda had officially entered into a contract with a company solely for the limited purpose of serving as a brand ambassador for skill-based games. His endorsement was strictly confined to regions and territories where online skill-based games are legally permitted.
It is important to clarify that skill-based games, including online games such as rummy, have been repeatedly recognized by the Honourable Supreme Court of India as distinct from gambling or gaming. The court has upheld that such games involve skill rather than chance, making them legally permissible.
Mr. Vijay Deverakonda’s legal team and agencies carefully review all associations before entering into any agreements. After a thorough legal review, he had agreed to endorse a skill-based gaming platform, ensuring that his association aligned with the law standards. However, his endorsement term ended in 2023, and he is no longer associated with the brand.”
Vijay’s upcoming movie releases:
Yevade Subrahmanyam, co-starring Nani, will be re-released on March 21st.
Kingdom, the pan-Indian action drama, releases on May 30th.
He is doing movies with director Ravi Kiran Kola and Rahul Sankrityan.
