Vijay Deverakonda's team has strongly denied recent reports claiming that the actor made 'luxury demands' on the set of his upcoming film 'Ranabaali'. In an official statement, the team warned fans and media houses against falling for what they described as a coordinated smear campaign.
Official Statement Denies Claims
The statement, released on June 26, 2026, clarified that the allegations are completely false and fabricated. The team urged everyone to verify facts before spreading misinformation. They emphasized that Vijay Deverakonda has always maintained a professional and humble attitude on set.
Background of the Reports
Earlier this week, certain media outlets reported that Deverakonda had demanded extravagant amenities, including a luxury vanity van and specific catering arrangements, causing delays in the production of 'Ranabaali'. The film, which also stars Rashmika Mandanna, is one of the most anticipated Telugu releases.
Smear Campaign Allegations
The statement specifically called out a 'coordinated smear campaign' aimed at tarnishing the actor's reputation. It noted that such false stories are being circulated by unknown sources to create unnecessary controversy. The team requested fans to ignore these reports and trust the official updates from the production house.
Impact on Production
Contrary to the rumors, sources close to the production confirmed that shooting is progressing smoothly. The team is focused on delivering a high-quality film, and there have been no disruptions due to any demands from the lead actor. 'Ranabaali' is expected to release later this year.
Vijay Deverakonda's Response
While the actor himself has not commented directly, his team's strong denial indicates his stance on the issue. Deverakonda is known for his dedication to his craft and has often spoken about maintaining a grounded approach despite his stardom.
Advice to Media and Fans
The statement concluded with a request to media houses to cross-check facts before publishing, and to fans to not engage with or spread unverified information. The team reiterated that they will take legal action if such false reports continue.
