Just two days away from its release, “Family Star” had been garnering okay buzz until the pre-release event altered perceptions. The makers ensured that the entire Telugu states knew a family-friendly film was on its way, one that everyone could watch together.
However, a surprising twist unfolded during the film’s censorship process in Hyderabad yesterday, resulting in a U/A certificate. “Family Star,” despite being marketed as a clean family drama, contained several curse words that had to be muted by the censor officials.
Words such as “f*****k, ‘l*****a, ‘m****a’, and several others were used in various scenes throughout the film. Interestingly, these swear words appeared primarily in scenes set against the backdrop of the US.
The revelation has come as a shock, given that Dil Raju’s films are typically known for their clean content. The excessive usage of curse words has surprised everyone, and the censor certificate featuring them has since gone viral on social media.
Starring Vijay Devarakonda and Mrunal Thakur as the lead actors, “Family Star” is directed by Parasuram, with music composed by Gopi Sundar. Additionally, there are reports of Rashmika making a small cameo appearance in the film.
