Jr NTR is all set to return to the big screen with his movie ‘Devara’, which also marks his return to the films after two years. A pre-release event was organized in Hyderabad on the Sunday evening but it got canceled after a massive turnout of fans. The actor took to social media to express his sadness over the event’s cancellation. Director Koratala Siva and Janhvi Kapoor were also supposed to be present at the grand event.
The ‘RRR’ star said in a video message, “It hurts me that the Devara pre-release event was cancelled, you know it hurts me. I wanted to meet you (fans) in person and share our journey with you. But we had to cancel it due to security reasons.” He further added, “My pain is bigger than yours in this regard. But this is not the producers’ or event organisers’ fault.”
Janhvi Kapoor also shared a video on Instagram after the event’s cancellation and said, “You have loved me as one of your own. I know how important you are to my mother (Sridevi), and know that you’re important to me, also. I will work hard to ensure that you are proud of me. I hope you like this attempt of mine, and I would like to thank Koratala sir and NTR sir for choosing me.”
Directed by Koratala Siva, the movie also stars Saif Ali Khan as the main antagonist. Shruti Marathe, Prakash Raj, Srikanth, Shine Tom Chacko and Narain will be seen in supporting roles.
