Jr NTR has returned to India from Japan after the country was hit by an earthquake. After fans expressed concern over the safety of the actor, the 'RRR' star took to X and confirmed his return and expressed his shock over the incident. He was in Japan with his family to celebrate New Year and hoped for the swift recovery of the people living there.

The 'Devara' star wrote on X, "Back home today from Japan and deeply shocked by the earthquakes hitting. Spent the entire last week there, and my heart goes out to everyone affected. Grateful for the resilience of the people and hoping for a swift recovery. Stay strong, Japan."

24 persons were reported dead in Ishikawa Prefecture on the Sea of Japan after a streak of earthquakes hit the region on January 1, 2024. The Japan Meteorological Office said over 155 earthquakes, including a 7.6-magnitude jolt, were witnessed in the area.

On the work front, Jr NTR will next star in 'Devara' along with Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor in the lead roles.

At the India Today Conclave 2023, Janhvi expressed her excitement about working on this film. "I’m literally counting down the days. I message the director every day. Working with Jr NTR has been a dream. I recently re-watched 'RRR'. The magnitude of charisma that he has. To be able to share screen space with him will be one of the biggest joys of my life," she said.

She added, "I manifested it. I prayed every day for it. In every interview, I used to say that I wanted to work with Jr NTR sir. This film might be the first time this technique worked for me. I do believe that what you put in the universe is what you attract. I have learned to be always positive and do my work. That is the moral of the story."

Directed by Koratala Siva, the movie will hit the theatres on April 4, 2024.
