A day after actor Vijay Deverakonda slammed websites which ‘spread fake news’ against him, Superstar Mahesh Babu and director Koratala Siva have come in support of the Arjun Reddy star.
Taking to social media, Mahesh wrote, “I stand by you brother, #KillFakeNews #KillGossipWebsites”.
His lengthy post further reads, “It takes years of hard work, effort, patience, passion, and sacrifice to earn the love and respect of the people. You work to be the husband your wife deserves, the superhero father your kids want you to be, and the superstar your fans crave for. And then, some faceless person, ready to do anything for money, disrespects you, lies to readers, and spreads misinformation, all for his next paycheck. I want to protect our beautiful industry Of Telugu cinema, I want to protect my fans and I want to protect my kids from a world where this is considered normal. I call upon the industry to act upon these fake websites that live off us and disrespect and lie about us collectively.”
I stand by you too @TheDeverakonda @urstrulyMahesh #KillFakeNews #killGossipWebsites.
