‘ Devara’ may just create history at the box-office! The Jr. NTR-Janhvi Kapoor-starrer, which is one of the most-anticipated movies this year, has reportedly earned a whopping Rs 8 crore through advance bookings, as per reports. The film is expected to receive an additional boost as the Andhra Pradesh government, led by Chandrababu Naidu, has approved a hike in ticket prices at multiplexes across the state. According to a report by Sacknilk, in Andhra Pradesh alone, tickets worth Rs 5.10 crore have been sold for 1,187 shows. In Telangana, tickets totaling Rs 11.58 lakh have been sold for 25 shows.
In the neighboring state of Karnataka, the film has earned around Rs 2.36 crore from 451 shows so far. In Tamil Nadu, advance bookings have brought in Rs 28.12 lakh, while in Uttarakhand, the film has earned Rs 1.03 lakh.
To further boost ticket sales, the Andhra Pradesh government has permitted multiplexes to raise ticket prices by Rs 135. Premium tickets can now be increased by Rs 110, and standard tickets by Rs 60.
Additionally, Jr. NTR's maternal uncle, CM Chandrababu Naidu, has sanctioned six special midnight screenings of Devara on its opening day.
Jr NTR expressed his gratitude on his X account, thanking Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan for their significant decision, which is expected to greatly benefit the film.
"My heartfelt gratitude to the Honourable CM, Sri @NCBN garu, and Honourable Deputy CM, Sri @PawanKalyan garu of the Andhra Pradesh government for passing the new G.O. for the #Devara release and for your continued support of Telugu cinema.
