Indian cinema is witnessing a growing international fan base, and NTR is trying to expand his market.  “Devara” has created an electrifying buzz in Japan, as is witnessed by the overwhelming response to the film’s advance bookings.

RRR craze

This level of demand underscores NTR’s growing popularity at a global level. NTR’s mass appeal in Japan is not an overnight phenomenon. His performance in ‘RRR,’ which received widespread international acclaim, played a crucial role in attracting a Japanese fan base.
