Did Vijay
Deverakonda Take Down Instagram Video Criticising Him?
On
Wednesday, Farhan Balaporia, content creator, claimed that his video
criticising the actor had been taken down, labelling him insecure.
Without
naming Vijay in the video, he said, "Now, I can't name him or her, but you
will probably be able to guess as I tell the story. By the way, when a lion and
tiger have a child, it's called a Liger." Liger was the title of the Puri
Jagannadh film that marked Vijay's Hindi-language debut, but proved to be a
failure at the box office. Later in the video, he said, "I have a friend
named Arjun who is never ready on time." Vijay won fame with his hit,
Arjun Reddy.
"The
video that got taken down is basically him saying that Hollywood has bigger
budgets because more people speak English, so the actors get paid more, and
therefore they're more successful. My reaction was disagreeing with him,
telling him that foreign films in different languages on low budgets have
succeeded, whereas his own film with a high budget was unsuccessful," he
added.
The creator
also said "He'll just take it down again if I re-upload it because there
is a clip of him in the reel," the creator said, promising to upload a new
version where he will play the actor, and then post the reaction. In the
caption, Farhan wrote, "Imagine being so insecure you can't take criticism
from a random guy on the internet."
In the
comments section, social media users guessed the actor in question was Vijay
Deverakonda. One comment read, "Oh man. Such an insecure person he is, and
I love this sarcasm." Another said, "CEO of pettiness." Another
posted , "He must have said 'I...I...am...a...fighter' while taking down
your video."
Vijay
Deverakonda was last seen in Kingdom.
At 25,
Naslen Called Superstar, Films Earn Rs 100 Crore
One of the
most notable points is that, Naslen has managed to score not one but two films
in the Rs 100 crore club. All this, at the age of 25, a feat rarely achieved by
young actors.
In 2024, he
shot to fame with Premalu a romantic comedy film directed by
Girish A D and produced by Bhavana Studios, Fahadh Faasil and Friends, and
Working Class Hero. The film which also featured Mamitha Baiju, alongside
Sangeeth Prathap, Akhila Bhargavan, Shyam Mohan, Meenakshi Raveendran, Mathew
Thomas and Althaf Salim hit the Rs 100 crore mark at the box office. It went on
to become the sixth highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time and the fourth
highest-grossing Malayalam film of 2024. In 2025, he won acclaim for his role
in Alappuzha Gymkhana. Although the film didn't hit the Rs 100 crore mark, the
Khalid Rahman, directorial earned Rs 65 crore. The film also starred Lukman
Avaran, Ganapathi S Poduval, Sandeep Pradeep, Franco Francis, Baby Jean and
Shiva Hariharan.
Another film
this year, Lokah, sees him play 'second' role to Kalyani Priyadarshan first
female superhero of Malayalam cinema. The fact that he didn't mind being
protected by the 'heroine', deserves appreciation. The film is expected to earn
more than Rs 100 crore and it currently the third highest-grossing Malayalam
film of 2025.
In a post
shared by Naslen, where he is seen posing with Lokah producer Dulquer Salmaan
and Tovino Thomas, has gone viral. Dulquer Salmaan has commented on the picture
with the message "Edaaaa!!! Superstar".
Naslen will
soon be seen Asif Ali's Tiki Taka.
