As the release of Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur starrer "Family Star" approaches, the film has stirred up a buzz, not only for its star cast but also for its recent encounter with the censor board. The rom-com, initially anticipated as a family-friendly affair, faced objections from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) regarding the use of obscene language.

The CBFC, during the screening in Hyderabad, raised concerns about certain swear words used primarily in scenes set in the United States. In response, the board suggested muting the objectionable language to ensure the film's suitability for family audiences. Consequently, "Family Star" was granted a U/A certificate, with five cuts made to the film, including the excessive use of liquor labels in a song and five swear words.

Despite these alterations, the certification granted to the movie has become a talking point on social media, garnering attention for its duration of approximately 2 hours, 43 minutes, and 20 seconds. Vijay Deverakonda, in anticipation of the film's release, had previously shared the trailer with excitement, inviting audiences to celebrate, laugh, and relive moments in theaters.

Directed by Parasuram, "Family Star" promises to be a delightful romantic comedy, showcasing Vijay and Mrunal as lovers navigating conflicting emotions on their journey to understand each other's feelings. The film boasts a talented ensemble cast, including Vasuki, Abhinaya, Ravi Babu, Vennela Kishore, and Rohini Hattangadi, each playing crucial roles in the narrative.

The story of "Family Star" revolves around the intertwining lives of its characters, offering a blend of romance, humor, and relatable emotions. As Vijay and Mrunal's characters embark on a journey of self-discovery and understanding, audiences can expect an engaging and heartwarming cinematic experience.

With its release slated for April 5, 2024, "Family Star" has generated anticipation among fans eager to witness the chemistry between Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur unfold on the silver screen.
