Vijay Deverakonda, Mrunal Thakur stun in traditional looks at Family Star event in Hyderabad

After the song Kalyani Vaccha Vacchaa, composed by Gopi Sundar was released, many netizens trolled the song for featuring lavish visuals in a story about middle-class lives. When a reporter asked the same question, Vijay snapped back, saying, “I don’t understand, are people genuinely confused or are they just looking to troll us?”

He also pointed out that lavish dream sequences are not new in Indian cinema. “We have all grown up seeing lavish dream sequences in films. No one here is stupid enough to make a film where a hero asks the heroine to pay money for petrol (referring to a dialogue in the trailer) but has a lavish wedding,” he said, adding, “But even then, so what if he is middle class? Couldn’t he have done better for himself through the story? Let’s watch the film before jumping to conclusions.”

Producer Dil Raju also pointed out that he saw trolling online about Vijay’s character, Govind, wearing Birkenstock sandals. He brushed it aside, stating that they could’ve just been fake. “You can easily find dupes of everything designer for cheap now,” he rationalised.
