Last year, Vijay Deverakonda shared a teaser for the film. The clip shows a ganglord (Ajay Ghosh) informing Vijay that chopping onions and getting kids ready for school is not a sign of masculinity. Vijay is shown undertaking these chores in the teaser. He seems unconcerned by these insults and then proceeds to bend a rod and beat one of the gang members. The teaser concludes with Mrunal Thakur calling Vijay, implying a potential romance track between the two stars. In the caption, he wrote, “In every family – there is A Hero! This one is for all of you.”
Family Star is directed by Parasuram Petla and co-produced by Dil Raju and Shirish. For this film, Vijay Deverakonda once again collaborates with filmmaker Parasuram Petla, after the success of the smash hit Geetha Govindam The project has sparked intense interest, and fans are hoping for another blockbuster collaboration from the talented duo. Mrunal Thakur, best known for her role in Sita Ramam, will also be seen with Vijay Deverakonda on screen for the first time.
