The film The Family Star, helmed by Parasuram Petla and featuring Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur, made its theatrical debut on April 5, 2024. However, it did not captivate the audience in the expected range.
Despite its underwhelming box office performance, The Family Star has seen a revival on Amazon Prime Video, where it is now dominating the charts in both Telugu and Tamil versions. Speculation is rife that the platform will expand its viewership by debuting the film’s Malayalam and Kannada versions this Friday, pending an official confirmation. This could help the movie get more views and reach as audiences prefer watching it in their languages.
Dil Raju served as the movie’s producer, investing significant funds into its production. It may not be widely known, but Amazon Prime acquired the digital rights for an impressive sum of Rs 35 crore, setting a new record for any Vijay Deverakonda film thus far. The movie “Family Star” was created with a substantial budget of Rs 55 crore, which marked the highest budget in Vijay’s career. Vijay is currently filming his latest movie quietly under the direction of Gowtam Tinnanuri. With the release of Family Star on OTT, numerous discussions have arisen regarding different film elements. Regardless of the cause, this family drama has become a popular trend at the pinnacle of the Amazon charts.
