The team of Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Daaku Maharaaj has decided not to hold the Anantapur event ahead of their movie’s release. The decision follows the shocking Tirumala stampede incident.
Sithara Entertainments today issued this statement: “In light of the recent events in Tirupati, our team is deeply affected by the tragic incident that has occurred. It is heart-wrenching to see such an incident occur at the Lord Venkateswara temple – a place of devotion, hope for millions and a cherished part of our families’ traditions. Given the circumstances we feel it is not appropriate to proceed with #DaakuMaharaaj Pre Release Event as planned. With a heavy heart and utmost respect for the devotion and sentiments of the people, we have decided to call off today’s event. We hope for your understanding and support during this difficult time!!”
The film stars Bobby Deol as Balayya’s bete neoir. Jersey heroine Shraddha Srinath has a major role. In a recent interview, she stated that Daaku Maharaaj is her first full-on commercial film that has everything in it.
The film will hit the screens on January 12.
