Vijay Deverakonda Reacts Strongly To Boycott Liger Trend; ‘We Will See Who Will Stop Us’

In
the
last
few
months,
the
boycott
culture
has
taken
Bollywood
by
storm
and
the
box
office
collection
of
many
films
like
Aamir
Khan’s

Laal
Singh
Chaddha,
Akshay
Kumar’s

Raksha
Bandhan
and
Taapsee
Pannu’s

Dobaaraa
have
been
affected
by
it.

Recently,
Vijay
Deverakonda
too,
found
his
upcoming
film

Liger
at
the
receiving
end
of
the
netizens
as
#BoycottLigerMovie
trended
on
Twitter.
At
a
press
conference
for
the
film
in
Vijaywada,
the
Arjun
Reddy
star
reacted
to
this
boycott
trend.

While
addressing
the
issue,
Vijay
said
that
he
is
unfazed
by
these
boycott
trends
as
the

Liger
team
has
put
their
heart
into
making
this
film.

The
actor
said,
“With
Liger
we
expected
a
bit
of
drama…but
we’ll
fight.
We’ve
put
our
heart
into
making
this
film.
And
I
believe
that
I
am
correct.
I
feel
that
there
is
no
room
for
fear,
when
I
had
nothing,
I
didn’t
fear,
and
now
after
having
achieved
something,
I
don’t
think
there
needs
to
be
any
fear
even
now.
Maa
ka
aashirwaad
hai,
Logon
ka
pyaar
hai,
Bhagwaan
ka
haath
hai,
andar
aag
hai,
Kaun
rokenge
dekh
lenge
(We
have
mother’s
blessings,
people’s
love,
God’s
support,
a
fire
inside
us,
we
will
see
who
will
stop
us)!”

He
also
pointed
out
that
this
cancel
culture
has
emerged
only
in
the
last
few
years.

Further,
Vijay
also
opened
up
on
his
struggles
and
said
that
life
has
taught
him
to
be
a
fighter.
He
said
that
when
he
was
younger,
he
had
to
fight
for
respect
and
money
and
later,
for
his
place
in
the
industry
and
even
to
get
work.

“Every
film
was
like
a
tough
fight
for
me.
When
I
was
doing
my
first
film,
we
couldn’t
find
a
producer
to
bankroll
it,
so
I
did
the
film
for
free,
we
had
to
raise
money
to
cover
production
expenses.
At
that
point,
I
was
nobody
in
the
industry.
When
my
third
film

Arjun
Reddy
was
about
to
be
out,
we
faced
protest
before
it
even
hit
the
theatres.
But
it
turned
out
to
be
a
hit
at
the
box
office
and
now
people
know
me
because
of
my
work
in
the
film,”
the

Dear
Comrade
actor
said
at
the
event.

Vijay
further
said
that
he
is
sure
people
will
like
him
and
his
film

Liger
as
they
have
made
the
film
with
a
lot
of
love
and
hard
work.

Touted
to
be
a
sports
drama,
Liger
is
Vijay
Deverakonda’s
first
pan-India
release.
The
film
also
features
Ananya
Panday
and
Ramya
Krishnan
in
pivotal
roles.
