A media person asked Vijay Deverakonda what he thought of Mahesh Babu. The actor took some time to respond, and later he mentioned how much he liked him.

On the other hand, Vijay fans also took it seriously and trolled Mahesh Babu which leads to a fan war on social media platforms.

According to reports, Mahesh Babu and Vijay Deverakonda's verbal rivalry began when Vijay was given the film Jana Mana Gana after Mahesh dropped out due to a date clash.
