Young actor Vijay Deverakonda is essaying a crucial role in upcoming film Mahanati, a biopic on yesteryear actor Savitri which has Keerthi Suresh in the lead role.

Yesterday, the Arjun Reddy actor posted a trivia of Savitri in his Twitter handle and commented ‘What a Cool Chick’ #Mahanati. The ‘Cool Chick’ comment seems have not gone well with some of his followers who slammed him for quoting the famous actor with a slightly offensive word.

While a few opined that ‘Chick’ is not a derogatory word, some felt that is not definitely the right term to use for an iconic person.

Responding on the comments, Vijay Deverakonda replied to followers in his style.

He tweeted ‘ All who want an apology – chennai Leela Palace lo unna ocheyandi. I will even be giving you #Mahanati audio launch entries. She would have been happy to have you all back then – because appudu me lanti morals and ethics batch called her a home breaker and alcoholic,

‘she was many things fearless, philanthropic, generous, but at her core she was like anyone else a girl with dreams first, a woman who loved & wanted to be loved next and a superstar last. #MahanatiOnMay9th ‘, posted Vijay.
