Jr NTR made a surprise appearance at Beyond Fest in Los Angeles, delighting fans during a free screening of RRR. The screening was held in anticipation of the film festival, which runs from September 25 to October 9. Jr NTR, who is set to appear in Devara: Part 1, received a warm and enthusiastic welcome from the audience.
The official X (formerly Twitter) account of Beyond Fest shared a photo of Jr NTR speaking at the event, captioning it, “Unreal. The icon NTR made a surprise appearance tonight to tell us about his new film DEVARA. The world is not ready.”
Jr NTR’s team also posted a video on X, showing the host introducing the actor with a grand welcome. “I want to welcome to the stage… he has traveled from Hyderabad, India,” the host announced as loud cheers erupted from the audience. He continued, “It’s unbelievable that we’re in the same building as this man,” before introducing Jr NTR as the star of RRR and Devara.
The audience stood up, cheering and applauding as Jr NTR took the stage. The host went on to describe him as “The Man of the Masses, a wonderful international superstar,” and asked the crowd to give a rousing welcome to the star of RRR and Devara.
SS Rajamouli’s RRR, starring Jr NTR and Ram Charan, kicked off the festival’s inaugural screening. Jr NTR’s upcoming film Devara: Part 1, directed by Koratala Siva and co-starring Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor, will be released in theaters on September 27 and will be screened at the festival on September 26 at 6:30 pm. Recently, the film’s pre-release event in Hyderabad was canceled due to overcrowding, prompting Jr NTR and his wife Lakshmi Pranathi to fly out of the city that same evening.
