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.
