Vijay Deverakonda's Team Denies False Claims of Lavish Demands on Ranabaali Set
A viral screenshot falsely claimed that actor Vijay Deverakonda demanded six caravans and 40-50 assistants on the set of his upcoming film Ranabaali, prompting producers to approach the Producers' Council. Vijay's team dismissed these allegations as baseless and part of a targeted misinformation campaign on social media, especially X (formerly Twitter). The entertainment portal 123Telugu, whose name was misused in the fake screenshot, also denied publishing such an article and warned of legal action against those responsible.
