‘Why is Vijay Deverakonda being targeted?' Producer Naga Vamsi says actor is ‘most misunderstood'
Naga Vamsi on Vijay Deverakonda While speaking about the hurdles Kingdom has to cross, given that director Gowtam Tinnanuri hasn't had a release in Telugu in 6 years after the 2019 Nani-starrer Jersey, Vamsi got candid about the polarising views Vijay seems to invite with every public statement he makes. 'I don't even know why Vijay is being targeted. He's already down because his films aren't working. He said something during the Retro pre-release that became a controversy, and he said something in an interview after that, which was twisted, too,' said Vamsi. The producer is referring to how Vijay compared adivasis to terrorists at the pre-release event of Suriya-starrer Retro in Hyderabad and said, 'They (terrorists) behave like tribals did 500 years ago, fighting without common sense.' He was booked under the SC/ST Act over his remarks. The producer went on to call Vijay the most misunderstood person, stating, 'I agree he used to say something or the other when he was younger. He's the most misunderstood person. You meet him off camera, you'll wonder if it's the same person embroiled in controversy. People don't even have sympathy for him. What's the reason to criticise him so much?' About Kingdom Kingdom is a spy action drama written and directed by Gowtam. It is produced by Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under the banners of Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas. Satyadev and Bhagyashri Borse also star in the film, which will have a sequel. Kingdom, with music by Anirudh Ravichander, is slated for release on 31 July.

He said, "I know this will turn into a controversy, and the audience might troll me. I liked 'F1' movie a lot. But towards the end of the film, it reminded me of Jersey. Will he go to the race or not? The medical condition. Everything reminded me of it towards the end. " 'F1' has a Telugu film soul, says Vamsi He further shared that 'F1', despite being a Hollywood production, carried the soul of a Telugu sports drama. "I don't think an English film would copy from us, but 'F1' is a lot like a Telugu film, be it the moments or the highs," he remarked. From Vamsi's perspective, there is no potential for an emotional hook in a sports movie unless it's the story of an underdog. In this case, both 'Jersey' and 'F1' are about personal stories through sport and sacrifice. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Upto 15% Discount for Salaried Individuals ICICI Pru Life Insurance Plan Get Quote Undo Vamsi added, "They took a different backdrop and presented the story technically well, which is why everyone liked the film.

Prateik admitted that he initially felt 'bitter' towards both parents while questioning his identity. He also opened up about his decision to adopt his mother's in a recent interview with Varinder Chawla's YouTube channel said, "I was born Prateik. There was a custody battle for me from my mom's side of the family and my father's side of the family. My mom's side won. There was still a battle for the surname. Finally, in the passport, it was 'Prateik Smit Babbar'. It wasn't even Smita, so growing up, I was 'Prateik Smit Babbar.' In school, everyone thought I was Christian because they would wonder, 'Why Smit?', no one cared for Babbar. Everyone just called me Smit."He further said, "In my first film, my name was Prateik Babbar, and then the devil got the better of me and I started thinking 'Kaun hai maa? Kaun hai baap? (Who is mom? Who is dad?)' Then I started thinking, 'I don't want to be Patil, I don't want to be Babbar. I want to be just Prateik.' For a few films, I was only Prateik because I was bitter about my parents. I was like, I don't want to belong to them. They have only given me trauma my entire life. I don't want to belong to them, and then I continued with Prateik."advertisementWhile pointing out his changed name, the actor concluded, "I had to embrace that name, it makes me complete. Now, I am complete, I feel complete. Priya (Banerjee) said 'Prateik, you owe it to her; she gave her life for you, you owe that, you are her son' and that hit differently. I was like 'this is who I have to be'." Earlier, Prateik, in an interview with Times Now, had said that he did not invite his father and his family to his wedding since it took place at his mother's place. The actor stated that it would have been 'unethical to have him and his family,' since his late mother and Nadira Babbar had complications in the got married to Priya Banerjee in a close-knit family ceremony.
