“It hurts me that the Devara pre-release event was cancelled, you know it hurts me. I wanted to meet you (fans) in person and share our journey with you. But we had to cancel it due to security reasons,” he said in Telugu. Opening up further, the actor asked his fans to refrain from putting the blame on the producers or organizers. “My pain is bigger than yours in this regard. But this is not the producers’ or event organisers’ fault,” he added.

According to onlookers who posted several videos on social media from the event, the venue was overfilled at 8 pm. The event, which was scheduled at Novotel in Hyderabad, was to be attended by director Koratala Siva, actors Jr NTR and Janhvi Kapoor, and special guests like director Trivikram Srinivas and producer Naga Vamsi. Fans were kept in the dark about the cancellation, until they saw Trivikram and Vamsi seemingly leaving the venue.
