In November last year, the makers of Family Star offered a sneak peek into the film. The video features Vijay Deverakonda in the role of a modest man, diligently dropping his kids off at the school van and purchasing groceries. However, the tone of the clip abruptly shifts as Vijay Deverakonda displays his formidable strength by bending an iron rod and beating a man. We also get a brief glimpse of Mrunal Thakur’s character.  Sharing the video on Instagram, Vijay Deverakonda wrote, “In every family – there is A Hero! This one is for all of you.”
