In a significant turn of events surrounding the film Family Star, featuring Vijay Deverakonda, the industry has witnessed the legal ramifications of negative campaigns on social media. Industry tracker Suresh, leveraging his official X account, broke the news of a cyber crime complaint being lodged against individuals allegedly orchestrating attacks and spearheading planned negative campaigns against the movie and its lead actor.
The written update shared by Suresh explicitly mentioned, “Cyber Crime Complaint lodged against individuals who are part of orchestrated attacks and planned negative campaigns targeting The #FamilyStar movie and actor #VijayDeverakonda.” This legal step underscores the growing concerns over digital harassment and the impact of malicious online behavior on cinema and its stakeholders.
Police officials have reportedly initiated action, tracing the origins of fake IDs and users involved in the negative publicity, offering a glimmer of hope for due recourse. This move to safeguard the interests of the film and its cast marks a crucial stance against cyberbullying, reflecting the industry’s zero-tolerance policy towards unfounded slander and online criticism.
Despite the unwarranted negativity, Family Star faced an uphill battle at the box office. Mounted on a budget of ₹60 crores, the film’s domestic collections summed up to a modest ₹8.95 crores across a three-day theatrical run, with worldwide earnings reported at ₹18.3 crores, according to a Sacnilk report.
This incident isn’t isolated in the realm of Indian cinema. Actor Vishwak Sen, associated with the recent release Gaami, also encountered similar orchestrated online attacks. Through his Instagram, Sen highlighted the adverse effects of such negative campaigns on the film’s persona and its reception among audiences.
The legal proceedings initiated in favor of Family Star and Vijay Deverakonda underscore the pressing need to combat the menace of cyber harassment, setting a precedent for the entertainment industry to rally against undue negativity and safeguard the creative and professional integrity of artists and their work.
