The team representing actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna has approached cybercrime authorities in Hyderabad, seeking an investigation into online posts it alleges contain fabricated claims and misleading information about the couple.

The complaint follows the actors’ appearance on Koffee With Karan Season 9, after which content concerning them circulated across social media platforms and digital publications.

In a statement, the team said a representative had personally submitted the complaint to the authorities, requesting an impartial examination of the material in question.

The submission reportedly includes links to posts and publications that the team has flagged for allegedly spreading false narratives, manipulated screenshots, fabricated content and impersonation. It also raises concerns over what it describes as targeted online harassment.

Supporting material and relevant links have been provided to the authorities for scrutiny, according to the statement.

The team clarified that it recognises the importance of freedom of speech and accepts that individuals may express opinions or criticise public figures. However, it argued that criticism should be distinguished from presenting allegedly fabricated or misleading information as established fact.

The complaint seeks an examination of the identified content by cybercrime officials. No further details about the investigation or any action taken by the authorities were provided in the statement.
