One of the users commented, "I will boycott the film. Vijay Deverakonda shouldn't be associated with Karan Johar or any other from Bollywood."
Another one said, "Dear Vijay, you don't know but Bollywood always disrespects our culture and the Bollywood actor always gives statements that hurt people. A person calls himself a star because of people."
