Hyderabad: The Telugu film The Family Star, which failed to grab audiences in theatres, has been dominating the charts for over 10 days on Amazon Prime Video. The Parasuram Petla directorial, starring Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur, was released in theatres on April 5, 2024.
While the movie's performance at the box office was not so good, its fortunes have taken a dramatic turn in the OTT space, leaving many surprised. The movie's renewed success has sparked a growing demand for a Hindi-dubbed version, which would cater to a broader audience base. Interestingly, the makers had earlier planned to release the film in Hindi and Malayalam languages during its theatrical run, but the poor box office response likely derailed those plans.
The Family Star also boasts an impressive lineup of actors including Abhinaya, Vasuki, Rohini Hattangadi, Ravi Babu, and Vennela Kishore. The film's narrative revolves around Govardhan, played by Vijay Deverakonda, a devoted family man and architect who goes to great lengths to support his loved ones. His life takes a romantic turn when he meets Idhu, portrayed by Mrunal Thakur, who becomes a house tenant and eventually, his love interest.
