Daaku Maharaaj Cancels Pre Release Event Due To Tirupati Tragedy

Daaku Maharaaj cancels pre release event due to Tirupati tragedy. Tragedy struck when 6 devotees died in stampede that occured in Tirupati at the Tirumala Vaikuntam Dwara Darshan ticket counter.

Many devotees thronged the holy place ahead of Vaikuntha Ekadasi which falls on 10 Jan 2025 to have a darshan of Lord Venkateswara and this resulted in utter chaos with the administration failing to control the crowd.

In the midst of all this, the makers of Natasimha Balakrishna's Daaku Maharaaj shared their condolences and announced that the pre release event scheduled for today evening at Rajamundry stands canceled. They shared "“ 𝐃𝐚𝐚𝐤𝐮 𝐌𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐚𝐣 𝐏𝐫𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 “

In light of the recent events in Tirupati, our team is deeply affected by the tragic incident that has occurred. . It is heart-wrenching to see such an incident occur at the Lord Venkateswara temple - a place of devotion, hope for millions and a cherished part of our families' traditions.  Given the circumstances we feel it is not appropriate to proceed with #DaakuMaharaaj Pre Release Event as planned. With a heavy heart and utmost respect for the devotion and sentiments of the people, we have decided to call off today’s event. We hope for your understanding and support during this difficult time!!
