The Family Star OTT: Here's Why Vijay Deverakonda-Mrunal Thakur's Film Is Making An EARLY Debut Within 20 Days

Vijay Deverakonda's The Family Star Early Debut On Prime Video; Here's Why

After Jr NTR's Devara moved out, Vijay Deverakonda's romantic family drama titled 'The Fmaily Star,' written and directed by Parasuram Petla, hit the screens on April 5. The movie stars Mrunal Thakur, one of the most successful actors in Telugu. Sadly, Vijay Deverakonda, who wanted to deliver a hit after back-to-back flops, failed in entertaining his fans and movie lovers with his 'Geeta Govindam' combination.

The Family Star Early OTT Debut

Ahead of the film's theatrical release, Dil Raju of SVC banner, who bankrolled this film, successfully closed a decent digital streaming business of The Family Star. He sold the rights to OTT giant Amazon Prime Video for a great money. Contrary to what was earlier reported, that Family Star movie will start streaming from May 3, this Vijay Deveraoknda's film is making an early debut on the platform. The movie will start streaming on April 26.

Distributors have invested so much in the film's theatrical rights and following the opening weekend, which ran mostly with advance bookings, the movie fell flat at the box office. There were festivals like Ugadi, Srirama Navami, and Ramzan coupled with the summer vacation, which couldn't help Vijay Deverakonda and Dil Raju's film.

Once the movie earned negative feedback, most of the movie-going enthusiasts refrained from watching it on the big screen, waiting for the OTT release. To cover the costs, makers are said to have revised their OTT agreement for The Family Star, to make some more benefit from the early release, as per the report on Asianet.

The Family Star Cast

This family romantic-action drama stars Vijay Deverakonda, Mrunal Thakur, Divyansha Kaushik, Vasuki, Ajay Ghosh, and Abigayle Scobee among others in pivotal roles.
