Some of the tourists can also be seen stopping to watch the screening of the teaser, along with the film’s team.

Shooting delayed

Family Star was supposed to hit screens for Sankranthi in January. However, release has been pushed due to delay in production, with a new release date yet to be announced. Producer Dil Raju opened up on the delay at a press meet and said, “We had some issues with the visas for the US. The issue is resolved and we will shoot there till December 19. After coming back to India, we will have a 15 day schedule to wrap it up. The film might be released for summer if all goes well.”

Upcoming films

After the lukewarm response for World Famous Lover and Liger, Vijay turned things around with his latest release Kushi, co-starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The film got decent reviews and did good business at the box office. He is currently shooting for Family Star, in which he plays a middle class man from Andhra. He also resumed shooting for an untitled film with director Gowtam Tinnanuri. Rashmika Mandanna is rumoured to have replaced Sreeleela in this project, an official announcement is yet to be made.
