‘Should I stop?’: Vijay Deverakonda breaks silence on ‘manufactured hate’ at Ranabaali event

Actor Vijay Deverakonda has spoken out against the "manufactured hate" he has faced throughout his career, dismissing it as a coordinated effort by a small group rather than genuine audience sentiment. Addressing the question of whether he should stop due to this negativity, he replied firmly: "These are my dreams. This is my effort.

Everything I have built has come from years of work. If some people look at all of that and decide it is a waste, should I stop?" He emphasized that people should change, not him, and that his growth and evolution should be inspiring to them. Vijay Deverakonda also pointed out that what he experiences is not genuine hate, but rather "manufactured."

He explained that a small group of individuals, each operating multiple accounts, are repeating the same content to create the illusion of widespread disapproval. This manufactured sentiment, he added, is not unique to him but is prevalent among actors and politicians. The actor revealed that it took him seven years to recognize this system and understand that these individuals will eventually be replaced by AI bots, making their efforts increasingly irrelevant.
