Family Star: Vijay Deverakonda's film backs out of Sankranthi 2024 race; here's when it will release | Exclusive

The Puri Jagan-directed film Liger was a colossal failure for Vijay Deverakonda. His other film, Kushi, was delayed for over a year due to the female lead, Samantha Ruth Prabhu's, illness. The audience adored the songs and the novel pairing of Vijay and Samantha, which contributed to Kushi's above-average box office performance.

Vijay is now busy wrapping his new film, Family Star, which has now made headlines as its release has been postponed. Right from the day the film went on floors, the makers were quite confident that the family drama would be released as Sankranthi special in January 2024.
