Vijay Deverakonda, a prominent figure in the current generation of Tollywood, is known for his over attitude both on and off screen. Despite his humble beginnings in the film industry, his breakthrough role in the movie Arjun Reddy catapulted him to stardom, forever altering his public image.
In Arjun Reddy, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Vijay Deverakonda portrayed an aggressive character prone to impulsive actions, including slapping his girlfriend in a fit of rage. Even off-screen, his behavior has often sparked debate as he behaves with an attitude more pronounced than necessary.
Even, in his latest film, Family Star, which revolves around the life of an average middle-class man, Vijay Deverakonda’s character displays unnecessary aggression in certain scenes. One particularly troubling moment occurs when he slaps the female lead and throws a book at her. While the character may have perceived a mistake on the heroine’s part, resorting to violence instead of communication sends the wrong message.
What’s even more concerning is that while many of his contemporaries are actively avoiding roles that perpetuate toxic masculinity, Deverakonda continues to embrace such characters. Additionally, his behavior in one is the second half scene also raises eyebrows, where he props his leg up while conversing with an elder woman, displaying a lack of respect.
The question arises: Is it necessary for actors like Deverakonda to perpetuate such attitudes, both on and off screen? Vijay Deverakonda’s continued portrayal of toxic masculinity both on and off screen raises important questions about the responsibility of actors in shaping societal norms. It’s crucial for public figures to use their platform responsibly and promote positive values rather than perpetuate harmful stereotypes.
