Hyderabad:Vijay Deverakonda’s latest film, Family Star, hit theatres on April 5 but hasn't been met with much enthusiasm from viewers. Alongside the release, an official complaint has been made to the Madhapur Police Station here, suggesting that negative online campaigns may have hurt the movie's performance at the box office.
According to reports, the complaint alleges that there's been fake news and negativity spread about Vijay Deverakonda and Family Star. To address this, the police are actively tracking down the sources behind the alleged propaganda against Vijay and his latest release. Police have assured those involved that they'll take appropriate action in response.
It's worth noting that this isn't the first time something like this has happened in Telugu film industry. Actor Vishwak Sen recently spoke out about similar issues surrounding his film, Gaami. Even director Prasanth Varma faced targeted criticism after the success of his film HanuMan.
