Why did Vijay Deverakonda face backlash for using a tagline to his name?
Vijay Deverakonda grabbed attention when he added a special tagline to his name. The actor now revealed the peculiar reason behind it.
Vijay Deverakonda recently generated quite a bit of hype with the exciting release date promo for his next film, Kingdom. The actor has worked on his physique and is putting on a rugged look for this project. He now addressed the criticism that came his way after he used a tagline with his name, which had already been done by many stars in the past.
Vijay Deverakonda on using ‘the’ as tagline to his name
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter recently, Vijay Deverakonda opened up about the amount of criticism that came his way after he finalised using a tagline of ‘The’ to his name.
The Kingdom actor mentioned how many other artists before and after him have used special taglines, and nothing was ever said about them. But when it was his turn, there was a lot of scrutiny.
In his words, “Interestingly, no other person ever got backlash for something like that. You can have any name—from Universal Star to People’s Star—and people younger than me, older than me, those who debuted before me; everyone has a tagline. I was probably the only one without one. Nobody else gets backlash.”
