After returning home, Jr NTR also took to his X handle and expressed condolences to those who lost their loved ones in Japan’s earthquake. “Back home today from Japan and deeply shocked by the earthquakes hitting. Spent the entire last week there, and my heart goes out to everyone affected. Grateful for the resilience of the people and hoping for a swift recovery. Stay strong, Japan,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Jr NTR will soon be seen in Devara. On Monday, the actor took to his X (formerly known as Twitter) account and shared that the first glimpse of Devara will be released on January 8, 2024. “Can’t wait for you all to experience the glimpse of #Devara on Jan 8th,” Jr NTR wrote.

Devara is set against the coastal lands and is helmed by Koratala Siva. The film marks Janhvi Kapoor’s debut in South films and her first-ever collaboration with Jr NTR. Just like RRR, this Telugu movie will reportedly have high-octane action sequences that are expected to blow away the minds of the audience. As per reports, Devara is being made on a huge budget. The makers are reportedly spending a whopping Rs 140 crore on its VFX. The rumour mill is rife that the makers are also spending 33 per cent of the movie’s original budget on special effects.

Devara also marks Jr NTR’s 30th film. Reportedly, the actor will be portraying both, father and son on screen in this film. The movie will also star other actors like Saif Ali Khan and Ramya Krishna. There are reports that actress Chaitra Rai will be joining the star cast. However, there is no official confirmation regarding this as of now.

Devara is produced by Yuvasudha Arts and NTR Arts. It will hit theatres on April 5, 2024.
