Why is 'Family Star' releasing on Rashmika's birthday? Vijay reveals
The much-anticipated film The Family Star, featuring Vijay Deverakonda alongside Mrunal Thakur, is scheduled to premiere on Friday. This date intriguingly aligns with the 28th birthday of actor Rashmika Mandanna who is allegedly dating Deverakonda. This coincidence has made fans and media go gaga. The movie is directed by Parasuram, marking his second collaboration with Deverakonda after their successful 2018 project, Geetha Govindam, which costarred Mandanna.
Deverakonda's take on the release date
At a recent promotional event for The Family Star, Deverakonda was asked about the significance of releasing the film on Mandanna's birthday. Initially attributing the date choice to the holiday season, he later admitted with a smile, "Yes, it's Rashmika's birthday. I think it will be lucky for us." This comment has intensified rumors about a potential romance between him and Mandanna, although neither actor has officially confirmed anything.
