Family Star, starring Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur, is generating significant anticipation among fans as it gears up for release on April 5. Recently, the lead actors attended a promotional event in Mumbai, adding to the buzz surrounding the film.

During the event, Mrunal Thakur took a delightful selfie with Vijay Deverakonda, capturing their camaraderie. Their on-screen chemistry as lovers in Parasuram Petla’s film “Family Star” adds an extra layer of charm to their off-screen moments. In the movie, Vijay portrays a middle-class miser, adding depth to their character dynamics.

With the film's theatrical premiere just two weeks away, the duo is stepping up their promotional efforts. Vijay shared snapshots from the event on social media, signaling their proactive approach to building excitement around the film.

In his post, Vijay expressed his anticipation for the film's release, stating, “Stepped out, because… Just 2 weeks to go for #Familystar :))”. This message highlights their commitment to engaging with fans and generating buzz for their highly-anticipated project.

Earlier, Vijay Deverakonda was spotted at the Mumbai airport wearing a blue shirt with his buttons open, paired with white pants and shoes. Despite looking a bit tired, he maintained his signature style as he made his way to his car.

Following the setback of Liger, Vijay Deverakonda found success with his last film Kushi, co-starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu, which performed well at the box office. This is a positive turn for Vijay, who faced challenges with the failure of Liger and the shelving of the big-budget film Jana Gana Mana, directed by Liger director Puri Jagannadh.

The teaser for Family Star showcases Vijay's character going to great lengths to protect his family, even resorting to violence. He is also depicted engaging in household chores and spending quality time with family members. The teaser ends with a playful interaction between Vijay and Mrunal Thakur's character, adding a light-hearted touch to the narrative.

Vijay is renowned for his acting prowess in films like Dear Comrade and Geetha Govindam. However, he has faced criticism for the portrayal of misogynistic themes in some of his films, including Geetha Govindam and Arjun Reddy.
