Vijay doesn’t want fans to waste time on ‘unproductive’ activities

Actor Vijay Devarakonda says he doesn’t want his fans, whom he calls “rowdies”, to waste even two minutes on any unproductive activity.

Asked if he would allow them to troll his colleagues just because they thought he was not being respected enough, Vijay said: “I call them rowdies because I want them to fight their way to what they deserve. The nature of this world is to be privilege-friendly. It’s normal.”

“But doesn’t mean we have to agree with it. So grab opportunities and double the work others do. And breakthrough. I also call them rowdies because I am not comfortable with the word ‘fan’. But trolling is a no-no. I don’t want them to waste even two minutes on any unproductive activity. Just be happy, spread chill and productivity.”

On the film front, “Geetha Govindam” is set to release soon.

“It’s been a long journey. This one we shot and worked for it one year. From finding the actress to play Geetha which took us almost six months till finish, it’s been a set full of life that I missed at times, and on others a set that completely drained me.

“In the end, it has shaped up exactly as it was narrated to me. And it will be one film that’ll lift your spirits up this Independence Day,” he said.

Whom does he empathise with more – Arjun in “Arjun Reddy” or Govind?

“Arjun for me because his life and emotions I relate to more. They reflect more with my life. But for the audience it probably will be Govind, you just can’t help but sympathise with him and his situations. He is a sweet lovable guy.

“But both share the will and stubbornness to do everything to win the woman they love over. They just have polarly different approaches.”

“Taxiwala” was supposed to be his next release. What prompted the change in schedule?

“Repercussions of having two films that broke stereotypes and set trends. You don’t become a star, you become a slave. Suddenly all the production houses and directors discover you and are all excited and keen to work with you. So you end up working day and night and suddenly three films are ready for release,” he said.

“‘Taxiwaala’ was a personal pet project. I love the film but it missed its release schedule… but ‘GG’ was waiting in line so this happened.”

How does he view the competition in the Telugu industry?

“I am unaware of its existence and intensity or the nature of it. Right now,” he said.

Reader Writes – Tollywood’s step motherly treatment to AP

Prior to bifurcation, Tollywood used to maintain good relations with then ruling government of AP and many personalities of TFI used to strongly support government of AP. But after bifurcation, situation has changed and now TFI seems caring for and supporting only Telangana government and it’s initiatives. 

Budding actors to top stars doing everything to grab the attention of powers that be in Telangana Government. Whatever T-govt is initiating, whatever KTR or Kavitha is campaigning for , these people are voluntarily taking their photos, selfies and posting on twitter. They are immediately responding to KTR’s tweets and some of them are contributing for Telangana CM relief fund. It’s good that they are supporting Telangana government but only thing people are wondering is why film industry people are not at all reciprocating the same way for AP government and it’s initiatives.
 
Actor SubbaRaju recently contributed 25 lakh for Telangana CM relief fund. Is it just coincidental that SubbaRaju’s name was prominent in drugs case few months back ?? Earlier Vijay Devarakonda also did the similar thing when he got Filmfare award. TFI people contributing to CM relief fund should be highly appreciated. However, Telangana is rich state compared to AP, as KCR and several others pointed out many times. Andhra Government promoted donations to build Amaravati capital , donations to digitize the public schools etc. volunteer tasks heavily. Most of the celebrities turned a cold eye towards it.


 
Recently Mahesh Babu celebrated his birthday. Many wished him through twitter.  KTR tweeted “Happy Birthday to the most humble superstar I know & dear friend @urstrulyMahesh . Many returns of the day & I hope that you continue to be your awesome self Chief” and Mahesh Babu replied – “Thank you for your kind wishes, sir.” Also KCR’s daughter Kavitha tweeted wishing him and Mahesh Babu responded to her by retweeting her tweet . However, Nara Lokesh also tweeted, “Happy Birthday @UrstrulyMahesh. Have a great year ahead filled with joy and success”, but Mahesh Babu didn’t respond to that tweet with an acknowledgement.


 
Moreover, whatever initiative if it is coming from Telangana government or KTR, TFI celebrities are immediately responding to the initiatives in which KTR or Kavitha are participating. Be it Harithaharam or Silk clothes initiative or any other such initiatives. Manchu Lakshmi earlier told that KTR has turned the Sankranti as the silk clothes festival and complimented him for promoting the handloom clothes. She tweeted … “It’s a #handloom Sankranti at the #Manchu’s @KTRTRS appreciate the initiative.” Most of the celebrities, responded to Harithaharam positively. Earlier, Janasena chief Pawan also was seen appreciating KTR and his government
 
It was surprising to see TFI giving importance only to whatever Telangana government or its leaders are initiating but not contributing to the initiatives of AP governments. Some point out that AP or Lokesh is not very active in initiating such innovative ideas where they can involve celebrities in their initiatives. Some others point out that there not many initiatives from AP government at all. But if they really want, celebrities could have responded Amaravati’s brick donating, schools digitization programs in AP. Recently Nara Rohit donated for Anna canteens. If other celebrities are really keen to contribute AP, they could have contributed to some scheme or other.
 
Some others point out Tollywood is based in Hyderabad and all these celebrities have their financial stakes only in Hyderabad and that’s why they want to maintain good relations with T-government only. However, it is to be noted that, even though Nizam is a big market, 60% of the revenue of TFI come from AP. So, while people of AP are also contributing to Telugu film industry, celebrities of TFI are seen more inclined towards T-government.

Of course, TFI was seen supporting AP during Hudhud such disasters. But in general, mainly recent times, TFI celebrities turned TRS appeasing group and mere ‘Bhajana gang to Power circles in TS’ . TFI should introspect themselves on this , contribute to both states with EQUAL generosity .
