Mumbai: Telugu star Jr NTR on Tuesday pledged to donate Rs 50 lakh each to the Chief Minister's Relief Funds of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to support flood relief efforts caused by torrential rain and subsequent floods in the two states.
The Hyderabad-born actor made the announcement on X.
Jr NTR wrote in Telugu which translates in English to: “I’m deeply moved by the recent floods in two Telugu states due to heavy rains. I pray to God that Telugu people recover from this calamity soon.
“On my part, I am announcing a donation of Rs 50 lakhs each to the Chief Minister's Relief Fund of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana Governments to help the measures taken by the Governments of the two Telugu States for relief from the flood disaster.” At least 33 people have been killed in rain-related incidents and floods.
Jr NTR is awaiting the release of his pan-India movie “Devara: Part 1”, which will release in cinemas on September 27.
