Arjun Reddy actor Vijay Deverakonda recently in an interview with a film critic said, 'Dictatorship is the way to go' and the actor received criticism by users on social media. Bollywood actor Gulshan Devaiah also slammed Deverakonda's views and said that maybe he needed a 'haircut' to release some "pressure on his khopdi’.

Vijay's brother Anand came out in support of his brother and told Devaiah to understand the context before making 'personal comments'. "Maybe a khopdi with actual substance would understand the context first before making personal comments on social media,” Anand wrote in a tweet.

Gulshan in response to Anand Deverakonda wrote, "What ever the context you guys think it was said in, you are welcome to have your benevolent dictatorship, it’s a NO THANKS from me Absolute power, even in the most noble hands is eventually corrupting. This is my response and not a hit back."

Vijay Deverakonda's dictatorship remark

The Dear Comrade actor became the talk of the internet after his recent interview with Film Companion, in which the actor said that he does not believe everyone should be allowed to vote. Elaborating further, Deverakonda said that people who sell their vote for money and liquor should be made to stay away from the ballot box because they don't know why they are taking part in elections. He further explained that the educated public with the most at stake should alone be allowed.
