Devara: Jr NTR’s Box Office Dominance Continues

Jr NTR, the reigning superstar of Telugu cinema, has once again demonstrated his extraordinary box office prowess with his latest film, Devara. Even before its official release, the action-packed epic, co-starring Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan, has shattered records in the United States, solidifying NTR’s position as a global cinematic force.

According to recent reports, Devara has achieved a staggering $2 million in pre-sales alone in the United States. This remarkable feat marks the second consecutive film for NTR to surpass this milestone, following the blockbuster success of RRR. With this achievement, Jr NTR has solidified his status as the first actor to have two back-to-back $2 million pre-sale grossers in the USA.

The film’s immense popularity among the Indian diaspora and NTR’s ever-growing fanbase has played a pivotal role in driving these exceptional pre-sales. If Devara receives positive word-of-mouth upon its release, it is poised to create a storm at the overseas box office, further cementing NTR’s reputation as a global star.

Beyond its record-breaking performance in the United States, Devara is also generating immense buzz in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The film’s strong pre-release hype, coupled with the Chandrababu Naidu-led Andhra Pradesh government’s decision to allow multiplexes to increase ticket prices, has fueled anticipation among fans and cinephiles alike.

As the countdown to Devara’s release begins, Jr NTR’s loyal fans and the entire Telugu film industry are filled with excitement and pride. The actor’s consistent ability to deliver box office hits and set new benchmarks is a testament to his unparalleled talent, charisma, and deep connection with his audience. With Devara poised to be one of the biggest releases of the year, Jr NTR is set to reign supreme as the undisputed king of the Telugu box office.
