Chaos Erupts at Devara Pre-Release Event
Devara Pre-Release Event Faces Unexpected Chaos and Confusion
NTR and Koratala Siva previously worked together on the successful Janatha Garage, and their latest collaboration, Devara, has been eagerly awaited by fans. The film’s first part is set for a grand release on September 27th, and the makers scheduled a pre-release event at an indoor venue in Hyderabad. However, this decision backfired, leading to chaos at the venue.
The much-anticipated pre-release event for NTR and Koratala Siva’s upcoming film, Devara, turned chaotic as thousands of fans gathered outside the venue. Despite high expectations, confusion and disorder marked the day, leaving many fans frustrated.
Indoor Venue: A Questionable Decision?
Traditionally, star hero pre-release events attract massive crowds, especially for a star like NTR, whose fanbase is immense. Fans gather in the thousands, making it difficult for any venue to manage the crowd. Despite this, the Devara team opted to hold the pre-release event indoors, at the Novotel Hotel, to avoid the risk of rainfall due to weather forecasts predicting rain.
However, many fans questioned the decision to hold the event at an indoor venue, as it lacked the capacity to accommodate the large number of attendees. The film’s team, along with Shreyas Media, believed that an indoor venue would ensure a smooth event without interruptions from the weather, but the reality was quite different.
Chaos Outside Novotel: Fans Storm the Venue
On the day of the event, the situation quickly spiraled out of control. Thousands of fans gathered outside the Novotel Hotel and soon began pushing their way toward the venue. The excitement turned into chaos as fans attempted to enter, leading to the breaking of glass windows. Some fans even barged into the venue forcibly, damaging property in the process.
The venue’s management, overwhelmed by the unruly crowd, considered canceling the event altogether. Meanwhile, the event organizers, Shreyas Media, scrambled to negotiate with the venue to keep the event on track.
Lathi Charge by Police: A Disappointing Turn of Events
In an attempt to control the situation, the police personnel at the scene had no choice but to initiate a lathi charge to disperse the crowd. The unfortunate turn of events left many questioning the decision-making process behind the event.
Who is Responsible for the Chaos?
The big question that remains is: Who is to blame for the confusion at the Devara pre-release event? Was it the decision of the movie team to choose an indoor venue, or was it poor event management by the organizers? The situation has sparked a debate among fans and industry insiders alike.
The anticipation surrounding Devara has only grown with this incident, but it has also raised concerns about crowd management and safety at high-profile events.
