Vijay shared the trailer on X
Sharing the film’s trailer on his X, Vijay wrote, “This summer. In just one week-go celebrate, laugh, cheer, relive and have a great time in the theaters.” The trailer begins with Vijay praying to god to not take anything away from his life, if not adding to it. Mrunal seems to be his neighbour, someone who’s close to his family, much to his chagrin. While she seems to fall for him before he falls for her, the story soon seems to move to the US, where he works under her. But things seem to change with Mrunal thinking she’s the biggest issue in his life. The trailer ends with her slapping him in anger.

Ahead of that, Mrunal visited the Sri Yellamma Pochamma in Hyderabad. She visited the temple with her team and posed for clicks with fans.
Producer Dil Raju revealed why it was named as “Family Star”
He said, “When we announced the film’s title, some people thought it was to depict Vijay as a star. But I think most of us work hard to provide for our families and I want to clarify that this film is a tribute to us all. It’s for all of us who wants to provide a better life for our families. It has nothing to do with Vijay or stardom in general.”
