Content Creator Claims Vijay Deverakonda Got His Video Taken Down Over Brad Pitt Comment

A content creator alleges that his video criticizing Vijay Deverakonda was removed from Instagram, sparking a new controversy. The creator’s response, a reel filled with indirect jabs at the actor, has since gone viral.

September 4, 2025: Actor Vijay Deverakonda has once again become the subject of online debate after content creator Farhan Balaporia accused him of getting an earlier video of his taken down from Instagram.

The controversy has been fueled by a new, cryptic video by Balaporia that indirectly mocks the actor, sparking a massive reaction online.

The dispute traces back to May when Deverakonda’s comments about Hollywood star Brad Pitt—stating that Pitt earns “100 times more because he works in English films”—went viral. Balaporia had posted a video criticizing the statement, arguing that success is not solely dependent on a film’s language or budget.

In his latest reel, titled “Actor took down my video,” Balaporia cleverly alludes to Deverakonda without ever naming him. He drops unmistakable hints, including references to Deverakonda’s box office failure Liger (“when a lion and a tiger have a child, it’s called a Liger”) and his breakout film, Arjun Reddy (“I have a friend named Arjun who is never ready on time”).

The video has since gone viral, with many social media users supporting the content creator and labeling Deverakonda as “insecure.” When contacted for a comment on the controversy, Vijay Deverakonda’s team declined to respond.

Meanwhile, on the professional front, Deverakonda’s recent film, Kingdom, reportedly underperformed at the box office, adding to a string of recent films that have failed to impress audiences.
