Mega Prince Varun Tej’s most awaited Airforce actioner 'Operation Valentine' will have a grand release worldwide on March 1st in Telugu and Hindi languages. Directed by Shakti Pratap Singh Hada, the film is produced by Sony Pictures International Productions and Sandeep Mudda's Renaissance Pictures. It is co-produced by God Bless Entertainment (Vakeel Khan), and Nandakumar Abbineni. The movie has high expectations as the teaser and trailer promotion content impressed the audience. The film unit organized a massive pre-release event that was a huge success with crowd coming in big numbers. Padma Vibhushan Megastar Chiranjeevi was the chief guest for the pre-release event which was also attended by a few other guests.
Speaking at the event, Megastar Chiranjeevi said, "I feel proud to attend this event, given this patriotic film is about India’s strong counter to the Pulwama Attack incident. Shakti who made the movie on a moderate budget with such grand visuals is an inspiration for upcoming filmmakers. As the incident took place on February 14, I felt very sensible when Varun said that the name of the film was 'Operation Valentine'. Director Shakti Pratap did not come here with the intention that there are opportunities in Telugu, there will be good remuneration and he can settle down as a commercial director. He made a short film on surgical strike at his own expense of around five lakhs. The Indian Air Force was surprised to see it. Officials encouraged him saying that they will provide more information if he makes a film. This content is amazing with the information they gave. I was informed that the movie has come out well. Films like Operation Valentine need to be encouraged. Varun Tej is showing his versatility by picking different scripts. This, I think, is the first Telugu movie on airstrikes".
Varun Tej said, “Megastar Chiranjeevi graced the occasion and it means the world to us. Shakti Pratap is a very passionate filmmaker who is going to show the heroics of Indian Air Force officials in the movie. While we do our best to protect our families, the soldiers sacrifice many things and fight for the nation at the border. Operation Valentine is a small chapter to portray their greatness. Every Indian should watch the movie. Thanks to every artist who worked in this movie. Mickey J Mayer gave the best music. Fighter Vijay Master, Editor Naveen Nooli, and DOP Hari all did a great job. All the best to producers Siddu and Sony Pictures. I am very proud to do a film on the soldiers who have sacrificed so much for us and protect the country. After watching this movie, every Indian and Telugu will salute our jawans with their hands on their hearts. That’s how this movie is going to be. Please watch the film in the theatres.”
Shakti Pratap Singh Hada said, “It is an honor for us to have Chiranjeevi Sir to come and bless us. It gave us a lot of strength. While shooting this film, I saw young Naga Babu and young Chiranjeevi in Mega Prince Varun Tej. He is the main pillar of this movie. Varun is one of the finest stars we have in our industry. This film is full of emotions, drama, action, and adventure. Be sure to watch it in theatres… Everyone will like it".
