Operation Valentine
Varun Tej and Manushi Chhillar’s Operation Valentine is coming to the big screens on 1st March 2024. The film, directed by Shakti Pratap Singh, had its pre-release event today in Hyderabad. Padma Vibhushan Megastar Chiranjeevi attended the event as the chief guest. Chiranjeevi thanked his fans before starting his speech.

Megastar said, “Varun Tej requested me to attend this event, which highlights the sacrifices made by our real-life heroes. I said yes without even thinking for a minute. They told me that the film is about the Pulwama attack in which 40 CRPF soldiers were martyred. Operation Valentine is about the retaliation done by our Indian Air Force as a tribute to those soldiers.”

Chiranjeevi said, “I asked Varun if they commercialized the film by adding a romantic angle looking at the title, but then I learned it is named Operation Valentine as the Pulwama attack happened on 14th February. Director Shakti Pratap’s intention isn’t to earn money. He even made a short film based on an aerial surgical strike, which surprised even the Air Force officers.

Chiranjeevi further said, “Shakti Pratap Singh did immense research for Operation Valentine, and he met so many Indian Air Force officers to get authorized information. Movies like Operation Valentine should do well, and they evoke patriotism in our hearts. Youth should watch films like these. This movie was shot in 75 days and within a reasonable budget. I feel Shakti Pratap Singh will inspire Tollywood directors.”

“I am happy Varun Tej isn’t following me. He is trying different genres, and he has created his own opportunities. He showed lovely variations in his films. There have been many military-based films, but Operation Valentine is the first Telugu film in the aerial action genre. Last year, I watched Top Gun Maverick and got blown away by its visuals. I am extremely happy that these guys made such a film in Telugu,” noted Chiranjeevi.
