About a thousand army personnel have been dispatched to the worst-hit areas in the country’s relatively remote Noto peninsula, however, according to news agency Reuters, rescue operations have been hindered by badly damaged and blocked roads.
On the work front, Jr NTR will be next seen in Devara, a new poster of which was launched on Tuesday. Directed by Koratala Siva, the film is set in a coastal town and will mark Jr NTR’s first screen project after the global success of RRR.
Devara marks the South film debut of Janhvi Kapoor, who is collaborating with Jr NTR for the first time. Devara will be released in two parts, a decision which the makers arrived as the canvas was “too big” to be squeezed into one film. The first part of the film will release on April 5.
