Ahead of their film’s release, the makers of Operation Valentine shared an update about the completion of censorship formalities. The Varun Tej-Manushi Chhillar-starrer has received an U/A certificate from the censor board authorities.
Operation Valentine is inspired by the true events of the 2019 Balakot aerial strike. At the pre-release event held on Sunday, Mega Star Chiranjeevi talked about how it is the responsibility of the audience to make the film a hit, given its focus on the Indian Air Force and their acts of bravery, adding, “I feel proud to attend this film's event, given this is a patriotic film about India's strong counter to the Pulwama Attacks incident.”
Operation Valentine releases on March 1, clashing at the box office with two other big releases: the Vennela Kishore-starrer Chaari 111 and the thriller drama Bhoothaddam Bhaskar Narayana. The aerial action drama directed by debutant Shakti Pratap Singh Hada also marks the Telugu debut for Manushi.
