Devara Pre-Release Event Cancelled Due to Overcrowding

Hyderabad: Jr NTR is known as a Man of Masses for a reason and his crowd pulling prowess is quite well known to the people. The buzz around the pan-India star’s upcoming ‘Devara: Part 1’ began ever since the makers unveiled the first look of the film. This ignited a frenzy of excitement among fans and the craze boiled over before the start of the grand pre-release event at Novotel in Hyderabad on Sunday evening.

Due to the adverse weather conditions, the makers had organized an indoor event. As a large number of fans turned up exceeding the capacity of the venue, chaos ensued which forced the organizers to cancel the event. A video of chaos from the venue is going viral on social media which shows broken glass on the floor and vandalism at the location. The excited fans tried to force their way into the venue and the glass door was broken due to overcrowding. As per reports, Jr NTR was about to leave for the event but the organizers advised him not to attend the event as they were unable to manage the huge crowd.

Legendary directors (SS Rajamouli, Prashanth Neel and Trivikram) were expected to grace the indoor event. Koratala Siva’s directorial ‘Devara’ is scheduled for global release on September 27. The film marks Janhvi Kapoor’s debut in the Telugu industry. Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan will be seen in a key role in the upcoming movie.
