Vijay Deverakonda is unfazed by the online criticism coming his way. With Ranabaali set to release just a day after Jailer 2, the actor addressed the chatter around the clash and called most of the hate manufactured. He also questioned the need to bring someone down instead of focusing on bettering oneself.

During the press conference in Hyderabad, Vijay was asked about the hate he receives online. He stated, “Should I stop because someone thinks my dreams and hard work are unnecessary? Should I start acting because someone thinks my honesty comes off as arrogance? Should I step back because someone thinks my self-confidence comes across as pride? If they cannot digest my journey, must I sit at home?” The actor then added, “I won’t change; they’re the ones who need to. I wish people concentrated on bettering themselves for their families. I enjoy success stories a lot.”
