Indian film actor Vijay Deverakonda recently graced the pre-release event of Suriya-starrer Retro, which is slated to release on May 1, in Hyderabad on Sunday. However, the actor addressed the Pahalgam terror attack during the event and expressed his strong sentiments.
The actor asked the nation to ‘stand united’ and emphasised the importance of education in countering brainwashing that leads to terrorism.
Vijay explained in Telugu and English, “The solution to what is happening in Kashmir is also to educate them (terrorists) and ensure they don’t get brainwashed. What will they achieve? Kashmir belongs to India, and Kashmiris are ours. Two years ago, I shot for Kushi in Kashmir. I have such good memories with them (the locals).”
The actor then slammed Pakistan and insisted that the country’s citizens failed to receive the basic resources. He said, “Pakistan can’t even look after their own, who don’t have proper electricity and water. What do they want to do here? India doesn’t even need to attack Pakistan because Pakistanis themselves are fed up with their government and will attack them if this continues.”
He added, “They behave like tribals did 500 years ago with the way they fight. We should stand united as people and love each other. We always need to move forward as people and stay united. Education is super key. Let’s all be happy and keep our parents happy; only then can we progress.”
On the work front, Vijay Deverakonda was last seen in the 2024 film The Family Star alongside Mrunal Thakur. However, Vijay is all set to next star in Gowtam Tinnanuri’s Kingdom, a yet-to-be-titled project by Rahul Sankrithyan.
