Meanwhile, Jr NTR departed for LA shortly after chaos erupted in Hyderabad due to the cancellation of Devara’s pre-release event. The sudden decision led to unrest among fans, resulting in vandalism in the vicinity. In response, the makers of Devara issued a statement, expressing regret over the abrupt cancellation. They cited unfavorable weather conditions, particularly heavy rains in recent weeks, as the reason for calling off the outdoor event.
“We were eagerly anticipating this day after years of hard work on the film, especially since it marks NTR’s solo return to the screen after six years,” the Devara team stated.
