Jr. NTR returns from Japan safely; says he is 'deeply shocked' by the effect of earthquakes

The earthquakes that hit the western region of Japan have been worldwide news since yesterday as the country continues to feel the aftermath of the occurrence. With more and more updates coming in, the injury list and death toll are rising.

On a parallel note, Indian actor Jr. NTR just managed to escape from this at the right time. The RRR actor spent the entire last week in Japan interacting with fans. NTR, fortunately, managed to come back to India and even made sure to inform all the fans and followers that he is back home safely while also expressing his shock and grief for everyone who was affected.

His tweet on X (formerly Twitter) read, "Back home today from Japan and deeply shocked by the earthquakes hitting. Spent the entire last week there, and my heart goes out to everyone affected. Grateful for the resilience of the people and hope for a swift recovery. Stay strong, Japan,"

When it comes to the quakes, the largest of which had a magnitude of 7.6, also started a fire and collapsed buildings on the west coast of Japan's main island, Honshu, causing the country to drop its highest-level tsunami alert after issuing one following a series of major earthquakes.

Aftershocks continued to shake Ishikawa prefecture and nearby areas a day after a magnitude 7.6 temblor slammed the area on Monday afternoon. Eight people were confirmed dead in Wajima city, officials said. Seven others were seriously injured.

About NTR's visit it was in context to RRR emerging as the highest-grossing Indian film in Japan, collecting over 410 million yen (Rs 24.13 crore). He will next be seen in Devara, the first glimpse of which will be released on 8th January 2024.
