Telugu superstar Vijay Deverakonda has urged fans to use homemade masks and continue to remain safe at home.

"My loves, hope you are all staying safe. Cloth face covering will help slow disease spread. Leave the medical masks for doctors and instead, use handkerchief, use a scarf of your mom's chunni. Cover your face, stay safe. #MaskIndia," the actor wrote in his new Instagram post.
