Rajamouli's 23 Year Curse BROKEN by Jr NTR
The pan-Indian action movie Devara, starring the much anticipated superstar ntr, opened in theaters throughout the globe this morning. According to early reviews, the movie looks very promising and has a good chance of being a big box office hit. After six years, NTR's first solo release is Devara. Rajamouli's rrr was NTR's prior film. On september 27, 2001, ntr and rajamouli also published Student No. 1, which was their first joint project.
Soon after Devara opened to positive response, Rajamouli’s son karthikeya took to X and shared a special tweet, reiterating the special coincidence and the breaking of the rajamouli jinx by NTR’s Devara. “23 years of MYTH…Finally it was broken where it all began by the MAN HIMSELF on the SAME DAY again,” tweeted Karthikeya. The young filmmaker further wrote, “growing up watching him closely and now witnessing his wonders is what makes him so special to telugu cinema.”
Karthikeya went on to say that he was “absolutely speechless.” “I’ve been screaming to say this… For all the fans..this is the gift he’s given us to celebrate,” he added, finally calling Devara “the biggest mass celebration in cinema.” It's important to note that celebrities like ntr, ram Charan, Prabhas, ravi Teja, Nani, and Nithin—who had a box office blockbuster with a rajamouli film but failed to follow it up with yet another hit with their immediate following movie—have been dogged throughout the years by the infamous rajamouli Jinx.
