It is common for film stars and political celebrities to speak a few lines in the local language or accent at public events.
However, these attempts often sound forced or artificial. But Vijay Deverakonda surprised everyone with his authentic Chittoor accent at the pre-release event of 'Kingdom', held in Tirupati.
What stood out was not just a few lines but an entire speech lasting over 4–5 minutes, delivered fluently and impressively in the regional dialect.
Known for his strong Telangana accent, Vijay, a native of Telangana, amazed the audience with his seamless adaptation to Chittoor style.
His effort was not only well-received but also earned appreciation for the respect he showed towards the local culture and audience.
Vijay's speech added a heartfelt, personal touch to the event and showcased his versatility both as an actor and a communicator.
Everything was fine overall, but towards the end, he uttered a nonsensical line: “Vaanakka manalni e naa koduku aapede le.”
Why this line? Why use such language — especially when he was talking about Tirumala Venkanna and seeking blessings to rise to the top in the industry?
This odd statement left a poor impression on many, and it has become a topic of discussion on social media.
Even after reviewing the context, people are puzzled. No one is stopping him or his film, so this particular line felt unnecessary.
In an apparent attempt to imitate Pushpa’s famous “Thaggede le” style, he said “E naa koduku aapede le”, but it didn’t land well with the audience.
Instead of enhancing his speech, it diluted the emotional tone and drew criticism. Many feel such lines should be avoided, especially during moments of sincerity and reverence.
