VIDEO: Fans sacrifice goat ahead of Devara screening; actress Vedika calls it ‘horrific’

Jr.NTR-starrer 'Devara' premiered today (September 27) with special morning shows and enthusiastic fan celebrations. Now, a video of a violent celebration of fans sacrificing a goat before the first day first show of their favorite actor’s new release is going viral on the social media.

The viral footage shows one individual holding the goat by its head and another holding the legs, while a third individual gruesomely chops off its head.

The blood from the sacrifice is then poured over a poster for the film Devara Part: 1.

Sir @tarak9999 I’m deeply disturbed by reports of people taking extreme actions, like chopping a goat’s head, during the first day of the Devara movie release. Such behavior is unacceptable and should be met with legal action. pic.twitter.com/fm8LDfK2W1
