Vijay Deverakonda meets Manoj Desai over misunderstood boycott statement and proves why he’s the common man’s superstar

Vijay Deverakonda is currently winning hearts with his performance in the sports action film, Liger. Apart from taking the nation by storm with his recent release, recently, Vijay mired into a controversy. A few days ago, during Liger’s promotions, Vijay said “kaun rokenge dekh lenge (who will stop, we will see)” in reply to the boycott trend on his film Liger. The actor faced the wrath of netizens for the same. Veteran theatre owner Manoj Desai had also criticised the actor for his statement and called him ‘arrogant’.

When Vijay heard of Manoj’s dismay, he immediately flew to Mumbai from Hyderabad to clear the air with the Maratha Mandir and Gaiety Galaxy theatre owner. A photo of Vijay and Manoj was shared online by the official Twitter page of Andhra Box Office.

Vijay clarified his statement and said that he not only respects but also loved his audience and is constantly running on promotions for 30 days to reach the larger audience. He also stated that he makes films for the audience and he has emerged from them. Addressing the meeting with Manoj Desai, Vijay Deverakonda ensured that the rumours were put to rest with Manoj Desai and any others who may have been hurt by the statement.

Touched by Vijay’s sweet gesture, Manoj Desai has shared a video stating that he was upset and apologized for the extreme reaction.

Manoj Desai was all praise for Vijay Deverakonda, stating, “He is a really very nice guy, down to earth, I will keep loving him always. He has got a bright future and I promise hereby, I will take all his pictures. I wish him all the best.”
