The pre-release event of Devara: Part 1 was cancelled at the last minute by the makers, leaving several fans disappointed. The pan-Indian film stars Jr NTR, Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan in lead roles. Directed by Koratala Siva, Devara is set to hit the screens on September 27, 2024.

Set to happen on Sunday (September 22, 2024), the event was cancelled by the organisers few hours before the start due to security reasons. Many fans who had reached the venue returned home disappointed.

Reacting to the development, actor Jr NTR said he was “it is wrong to blame the producers or organisers for the cancellation.” In a video on social media, the actor addressed his fans, saying, “I am extremely disappointed about the cancellation I was eager to meet you all and talk about Devara. I completely understand your disappointment.”

The makers said in a statement that heavy rain over the past few days had posed them several challenges. “Even though it didn’t rain today, conditions wouldn’t have been favourable for an outdoor event.”

The huge response from fans became a double-edged sword for the organisers. “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.”

R Rathnavelu has done the cinematography for Devara while Anirudh Ravichander has composed the music. A Sreekar Prasad is the film’s editor.
