In a heartfelt video, NTR expressed his sadness over canceling the pre-release event for Devara in Hyderabad on September 22, which was called off due to overcrowding and security concerns. He stated, "The cancellation is very disheartening, especially for me. I was eager to connect with all of you and share our experiences."

NTR emphasized that blaming the organizers or producers is unfair and expressed gratitude for the fans' support: "I am ever grateful for your love. While we may not have met today, I look forward to seeing you all on September 27 when Devara releases." He added that he hopes fans will feel proud of the film created by Koratala Siva.

We regret being in this situation but are forever grateful to our beloved Man of Masses NTR’s fans. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

The biggest celebration awaits. See you in theatres on Sept 27th.#Devara #DevaraOnSep27th pic.twitter.com/oSXa2ga6Za
