Family Star out of Sankranti race. The anticipation for Parasuram Petla’s much-anticipated film, starring Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur, titled "Family Star," reached a crescendo when the makers unveiled a glimpse of the movie a month ago. Vijay's impactful dialogue, "Iron ee vanchala enti? (Should I bend an iron?)" quickly became a fan-favorite, particularly for its bold challenge to toxic masculinity. Excitement among fans was palpable as the film was initially slated for a Sankranthi release on January 14, 2024, setting the stage for a clash with other big-ticket releases.
However, the latest buzz suggests a change in plans. While an official announcement is still pending, reliable sources have indicated that the film has withdrawn from the Sankranthi race, and its release will be postponed to a later date.
Insiders reveal that the delay stems from ongoing shooting commitments that are yet to be wrapped up. Originally, the goal was to conclude all pending schedules by the end of the year. Unfortunately, unforeseen challenges arose when a scheduled shoot in the United States had to be postponed due to visa issues, disrupting the film's production timeline. With post-production work yet to commence, the decision to push the release to a later date in the upcoming year became unavoidable.
Notably, Parasuram and Vijay's trajectories took a transformative turn following the success of "Geetha Govindam" in 2018, marking a significant chapter in their professional journeys. As fans eagerly await official confirmation regarding the new release schedule for "Family Star," the film continues to generate buzz for its compelling narrative and Vijay Deverakonda's impactful dialogue that has already left a lasting impression on audiences.
