Vijay Deverakonda’s upcoming romantic comedy Family Star is a few days away from hitting the theaters. The movie marks the actor’s second collaboration with director Parasuram after their hit film Geetha Govindam. So far, several details about the movie have been revealed via its trailer and posters. It follows the story of a common man who loves his family and protects them at all costs. But, amid the several South Indian movies being based on true events, a question has arisen: Is the story based on a real story? Scroll down for the answer.
The makers of Family Star recently held a pre-release event in Hyderabad. Along with Vijay Deveraond and Mrunal Thakur, producer Dil Raju also attended the event and shared his insights about the movie. During the event, the Liger actor revealed one special element in the movie.
What was director Parasuram’s inspiration behind Family Star?
According to Ragalahari.com, Vijay Deverakonda revealed that Family Star is based on the life experiences of director Parasuram. He said, “In each family, there is a hero. My character in ‘Family Star’ is a hero to his family members. In my real life, my father is a hero. Parasuram wrote the story of this film based on his life experiences.”
The actor further revealed that his character’s name is Govardhan, also his father’s name in real life. He said, “My name in this film is the same as my father’s name in real life. It helped me with getting into the right mood. Although I liked the skeletal idea narrated by Parasuram, I didn’t give the nod until the script was ready. “This is also the first time that I received advance money from a producer,” Deverakonda quipped.
Producer Dil Raju also chimed in to talk about Family Star’s story. The producer said, “In every family, there is a star. That person is the pillar of support. They help everyone in the family grow. We are an emotional lot in India. We bond strongly with our families. Vijay Deverakonda’s characterization in Family Star is the backbone of the story.” He added how the character was written, keeping Vijay Deverakonda in mind.
Family Star will be released in theaters on April 5, 2024.
