The post read, “We were eagerly waiting for this day as we’ve worked hard on this film for years and wanted to celebrate it on a grand scale, especially since it’s the first solo release of our beloved Man of Masses, NTR, after six years.”
The note further read, “The pre-release event was scheduled very close to
Ganesh Nimarjanam
, and large-scale events like this typically require at least a week of preparation.
Additionally, heavy rains over the past few days created many challenges. Even though it didn’t rain today, conditions wouldn’t have been favorable for an outdoor event to take place, even if we had planned it. The
massive turnout
of fans, despite our best efforts, became uncontrollable as barricades were broken due to the overwhelming crowd. For the safety of everyone, we had to make the tough decision to call off the event.”

They apologised for disappointing fans and followers from different parts of the state, saying, “We understand that many of you traveled from various parts of the country to celebrate and see your hero. We hope everyone is safe and has returned home safely. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience and are truly sorry for the situation. Thank you for your understanding and support. Team #Devara.”
Meanwhile, the crowd became extremely chaotic and out of control. As a result, Jr NTR and director Trivikram Srinivas were advised to leave the venue for their safety.
‘Devara: Part 1,’ directed by
