Vijay Deverakonda has welcomed the court order through which "manipulative" ratings and reviews for Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu are protected on BookMyShow. The ticket-booking platform has disabled ratings following legal intervention.
The Kingdom actor today revealed that many of his movies have been targeted by some individuals who didn't want to see him grow. He was affected so much by the paid, orchestrated campaigns that he spent sleepless nights.
"While I am happy about the court order, I am sad because of the reality of our own people causing these problems. What happened to live and let live, and to grow together? During Dear Comrade, I first began to see the shocking politics of organised attacks. My voice all these years fell on deaf ears - I was told nobody can stop a good film. And every producer and director who then makes a film with me, soon realises the scale of the issue," the World Famous Lover and Liger star wrote.
"I have stayed up many nights wondering what kind of people do this, and how to deal with them to protect my dreams and dreams of many who will come after me. I am glad it is now out in the open and the court now recognises the threat to movies even starring someone as big and powerful as Megastar himself. This will not solve the problem entirely but become one less thing to worry about," he added.
Vijay Deverakonda is currently doing Rowdy Janardhana and a Rahul Sankrityan directorial under Mythri Movie Makers.
