The much-anticipated pre-release event for Jr NTR’s upcoming movie Devara: Part 1 took an unexpected turn on Sunday, September 22, when an overwhelming crowd of fans forced organizers to cancel the event. The event, which was supposed to be a grand celebration ahead of the film’s release on September 27, couldn’t proceed due to the venue exceeding its capacity.

Fans flooded the auditorium from all directions, causing chaos, and making it unsafe for both attendees and stars. With the venue packed beyond its 5,000-person limit, hosting nearly 15,000 enthusiastic fans, Jr NTR and filmmaker Trivikram Srinivas were advised to skip the event for security reasons.

Taking to social media, Jr NTR expressed his disappointment. In a heartfelt message, he said, “I am deeply saddened that the event had to be cancelled. I was looking forward to sharing exciting details about Devara and interacting with my fans. Unfortunately, for safety reasons, it was impossible to continue. I share your disappointment.”

We regret being in this situation but are forever grateful to our beloved Man of Masses NTR’s fans. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

The biggest celebration awaits. See you in theatres on Sept 27th.#Devara #DevaraOnSep27th pic.twitter.com/oSXa2ga6Za
