South Newsmakers of this week
Jr NTR starrer Devara teaser
The last week started off with Jr NTR satisfying each and every one of his fans with a massive glimpse into the world of his next film Devara: Part 1 directed by Koratala Siva.
The teaser of the movie showcased an electrifying background score by Anirudh Ravichander, while Jr NTR stole the show with his powerful screen presence and action-packed sequences. What's intriguing is that Jr NTR lent his voice to the film in various languages, including Malayalam, which is not commonly done by actors from other regions.
Yash birthday mishap
In a rather unfortunate turn of events, three fans of Yash made headlines for sad reasons. While they were joyfully celebrating the actor's birthday last week, a tragic accident occurred. As they were setting up a cutout of their beloved actor, they accidentally electrocuted themselves. This shocking incident also resulted in injuries to three other individuals.
After meeting their family members, Yash addressed the media where he said, “Tragic incidents like these make me fear my own birthday. This is not how you show fandom. Please don’t show your love like this. I want to request you all. Don’t hang banners, don’t do bike chases and take dangerous selfies. My intention is for all of my audience and fans to grow in life as I do.”

They have been spotted together in various places, which only adds fuel to the speculation.
Sankranti/Pongal releases
