The much-anticipated pre-release event of ‘#OperationValentine,’ featuring #VarunTej and #ManushiChhillar, unfolded in Hyderabad on February 25, generating excitement for its upcoming release on March 1. #PadmaVibhushan recipient #MegastarChiranjeevi graced the event as the chief guest, expressing admiration for the team’s efforts in crafting this aerial action film.

In a candid address to the audience, Megastar Chiranjeevi commended Varun Tej and director Shakti Pratap for their courage in bringing ‘Operation Valentine’ to life. He highlighted Varun Tej’s unique approach to his career, stating, “Varun is trying different genres, and he has created his own opportunities. He showed plenty of variations in his films.”

Drawing a noteworthy parallel with ‘Top Gun Maverick,’ Chiranjeevi acclaimed ‘Operation Valentine’ as the first Telugu film in the aerial action genre. Initially perplexed by the title, he humorously questioned if the movie had been commercialized, only to discover that it revolves around the significant date of the Pulwama attack on February 14.

Megastar Chiranjeevi praised Director Shakti Pratap Singh’s commitment, emphasizing that the filmmaker’s short film on an aerial surgical strike surprised even Air Force officers. He concluded with a prophetic statement, “I feel Shakti Pratap Singh will inspire Tollywood directors.”

‘Operation Valentine’ promises to be a groundbreaking cinematic experience, with Varun Tej at the forefront of exploring diverse genres. The film’s unique storyline and aerial action sequences are set to captivate audiences when it hits the screens on March 1.
