Actor Vijay Deverakonda has expressed both relief and frustration over a court order blocking reviews for Chiranjeevi's upcoming film, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu (MSVPG). The action comedy, set to release on January 12, has seen its ratings suspended on Book My Show due to the court order. Deverakonda, who has long been an advocate for change, took to X to share his thoughts on the development. 'It's a happy and sad moment for me,' he said. 'I'm glad to see that the hard work and dreams of many are being protected, but I'm also sad that it's taken this long for the industry to recognize the threat of organized attacks.' The actor has been vocal about the issue of targeted attacks on films for several years, often facing pushback from those who believed it couldn't be stopped. However, Deverakonda's persistence has paid off, as the court order is a significant step forward in addressing the problem. While Deverakonda acknowledges that this development won't solve the issue entirely, he sees it as a positive step. 'It's a start, and for now, let's focus on enjoying the upcoming films, including #MSG and other Sankranti releases,' he said. Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, directed by Anil Ravipudi and starring Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara, is set to hit theaters on January 12. The film's ratings suspension is a reminder of the ongoing struggle to protect the film industry from organized attacks.
