What the team have to say?
In a pre-release event of the film, Vijay had compared Family Star to Geetha Govindham. ““The film Family Star is like Geetha Govindham on Steroids. If you like it, you will love Family Star. I am happy to come back here with the huge producer Dil Raju sir, who has made great films like Varisu,” he said. Meanwhile, Mrunal, who plays Indu in the film, is confident that no one else can play the character like she did and thanked the producers for giving her the role.
Censor and runtime
Backed by producer Dil Raju, Family Star will be a family entertainer and has been given a U/ A certificate. The censor board has suggested a few cuts for derogatory words. Family Star will run for two hours and 43 minutes.
OTT partner
Family Star's post-theatrical streaming rights have been bagged by Netflix. The film is expected to make its streaming debut in May. Netflix has paid Rs 16 crore to bag the digital rights. This is the highest ever for a Vijay Deverakonda film.
