The movie Devara, starring NTR, is releasing worldwide today. Excitement is widespread, and in some parts of Andhra Pradesh, a political tone has been added.
During the Hyderabad pre-release event, NTR was hailed with "Chief Minister" slogans, though the event was eventually canceled due to the overwhelming crowd of fans.
Now, the Jana Jagarana Samithi has called for Junior NTR's support in the Visakha Steel Plant movement.
The Jana Jagarana Samithi expressed confidence that with Junior NTR's backing, given his millions of fans, the movement to save the Vizag Steel Plant will gain momentum and capture the attention of government authorities.
Leaders of the Jana Jagarana Samithi have put up posters with slogans such as "Save Vizag Steel Plant" and "Visakha Steel – The Right of Andhras" at the Rama Talkies Theatre in Visakhapatnam.
