Is Varun Tej Threatened by Fighter?

Varun Tej has been going through a rough professional phase in his recent films. We need to go back to 2017 to find his solo film that worked decently, but his pairing with Venkatesh has provided him big relief both times.

Now, he is coming up with another solo hero release, ‘Operation Valentine,’ on February 16, and this film looks promising.

It is crucial for him to deliver this time. However, due to the pan-India trend and exposure, Hrithik’s ‘Fighter’ has just been released, creating awareness about the film’s technically sound aspects for Telugu audiences. A section of plex audiences from the Telugu states might watch Hrithik’s ‘Fighter.’

Varun Tej’s ‘Operation Valentine,’ with a similar aviation backdrop, will be out in the next two weeks, leading to comparisons on social media and web-media between these two films.

Interestingly, ‘Operation Valentine’ will simultaneously release in Hindi as well. We have to see how it catches the attention of North audiences having watched Hrithik’s ‘Fighter’ now.

It’s an unexpected similarity and a close release gap between the two aviation films set in a patriotic backdrop.

We will have to wait and see how Varun Tej and the director pull off this film and make an impact in both languages.
