Jr NTR’s Cutout Catches Fire Amid Celebrations
At the Sudarshan 35 MM theatre in RTC X Roads, Hyderabad, Jr NTR’s fans erected and garlanded a giant cutout of the star, celebrating with firecrackers, as is common in the Telugu film industry. However, things took an unexpected turn when the cutout accidentally caught fire. While some fans fled in surprise, many stayed to capture videos and pictures of the burning cutout.
The local fire department quickly responded and doused the flames. No casualties were reported, and initial reports suggest that the fire may have been caused accidentally by firecrackers, despite earlier rumors of arson. The police are currently investigating the incident.
