Jr NTR Addresses Fans After Devara Pre-Release Event Cancellation: “My Pain Is More Than Yours
fans of Jr NTR were left devastated as the highly anticipated pre-release event for his upcoming film Devara: Part 1 was abruptly canceled in Hyderabad. The event, which was set to take place at Novotel, faced last-minute cancellation due to overwhelming crowd turnout and security concerns. Many fans had traveled long distances to attend, only to be turned away just hours before the event was scheduled to start.
According to reports, the cancellation stemmed from a combination of factors. The event was planned close to the Ganesh Nimarjanam festival, which typically sees large crowds and heightened security needs. Additionally, heavy rains in the days leading up to the event created logistical challenges that made it difficult to manage an outdoor gathering safely. As a result, the team behind Devara decided it was best to call off the event for the safety of all attendees.
In a video message shared on social media, Jr NTR expressed his deep disappointment over the situation. He stated, “I am deeply saddened that Devara’s event has been canceled, especially because I was looking forward to it so much. I enjoy spending time with you and sharing many interesting details about Devara.” He emphasized that he felt the pain of his fans and added, “My pain is more than yours.” Jr NTR urged fans not to blame the producers or organizers for the cancellation, explaining that it was beyond their control.
The cancellation sparked mixed reactions among fans. While many expressed their frustration online, blaming poor planning and organization, others showed their support for Jr NTR and understood the difficult circumstances. One fan commented on social media, “We were waiting for Tarak anna’s speech! Can’t you plan the event properly?” Another expressed their disappointment after traveling a long distance only to miss out on seeing their favorite star.
Despite the negative reactions from some fans, many others rallied behind Jr NTR. Comments like “Good decision, but plan well & host the pre-release event before the release” highlighted a desire for better organization in future events. Fans appreciated Jr NTR’s heartfelt message and expressed their loyalty by stating things like “Always we love you Anna ❤️,” indicating a strong bond between the actor and his audience.
The film Devara, directed by Koratala Siva, features a star-studded cast including Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor. It is set for release on September 27, 2024, marking Jr NTR’s first solo project in six years. The anticipation surrounding this film has been immense, with fans eager for its release after such a long wait.
In light of this situation, the team behind Devara released an official statement explaining their decision to cancel the event. They acknowledged that they had been looking forward to celebrating the film’s release with fans but faced numerous challenges leading up to it. The statement read: “We faced many challenges while planning the pre-release event… Even though it didn’t rain today conditions wouldn’t have been favorable for an outdoor event… For the safety of everyone, we had to make this tough decision.”
As fans await the film’s release in theaters later this week, there remains a sense of hope that Devara will live up to expectations. Jr NTR concluded his message by expressing optimism about how audiences would receive his latest work. He stated that he hopes viewers will feel proud of the film and enjoy it as much as he enjoyed making it.
The emotional connection between Jr NTR and his fans is evident through this incident. His ability to empathize with their disappointment showcases his dedication not just as an actor but as a person who values his audience’s support.
