Vijay Deverakonda’s much-awaited family entertainer Family Star was released in theatres on 5th April and has opened to a rather lukewarm response from the audience, to say the least.
Amidst the film's release, now an official cyber crime complaint has been lodged, claiming that negative campaigns have disturbed the film’s box office performance.
A complaint has been launched at the Madhapur Police station, alleging that fake propaganda and negativity have been circulated regarding Vijay Deverakonda and the Family Star. In view of the same, the police have actively responded by tracing fake user IDs. The cybercrime officials have informed the concerned parties that a due course of action will be taken.

Are targeted attacks becoming a thing of commonality?
Is Family Star being specifically targeted? Well, that might not be the case since earlier actor Vishwak Sen also came to the forefront, talking about the alleged fake propaganda surrounding his film Gaami.
Not too long ago, despite the massive success of the film HanuMan, director Prasanth Varma, too, spoke about the targeted attacks the film was receiving.
