The grand pre-release event for the highly anticipated movie Devara, featuring NTR, was scheduled to take place in Hyderabad. Fans were eager to attend and see their favorite star alongside the film’s cast and crew. However, due to overwhelming crowds and concerns over security, the event had to be canceled. NTR shared his disappointment and heartfelt message with fans through a video.
Expressing his regret, NTR said, “I am deeply saddened that today’s Devara event has been cancelled, especially since I was looking forward to it so much. I enjoy spending time with you and sharing insights about Devara. I was excited to explain the efforts we’ve put into the film, but the event couldn’t happen due to security reasons. I share your disappointment; my pain is even greater than yours.”
Despite the cancellation, some fans directed their frustration toward Shreyas Media, the event organizers, and the film’s producers. However, NTR stood by them, stating, “In my opinion, it is wrong to blame the producers or organizers for the cancellation of the Devara event.” While the pre-release event couldn’t happen, NTR assured his fans that they could connect with him in theaters when the film releases.
He praised the efforts of director Koratala Siva, saying he had crafted a remarkable movie. NTR also extended his gratitude to fans for their unwavering love and support, stating, “I owe my life to you.”
The team behind Devara also issued a statement explaining the decision to cancel the event. They faced logistical challenges due to heavy rains and limited preparation time, as the event coincided with Ganesh Nimarjanam. Despite their best efforts, the massive crowd became difficult to manage, forcing them to prioritize safety.The first part of Devara is set to release on October 27, 2024, and fans eagerly await the film’s debut in theaters.
