Jr NTR-starrer Devara To Release Its First Glimpse In January? What We Know

Actor Jr NTR, who made a significant pan-India impact with SS Rajamouli’s RRR last year, has kept fans eagerly awaiting his next project not only in the Telugu states but across the country. His upcoming film, previously referred to as NTR 30, is titled Devara and is directed by Koratala Siva. Currently, amid active shooting, rumour has it that the teaser for the film will soon be unveiled, possibly as a Sankranthi gift for fans.

Reports suggest that the teaser release might be a two-part unveiling, heightening anticipation among the audience. With the shooting progressing swiftly, the film has already generated significant buzz, and the teaser is poised to add to the excitement.

Devara boasts a stellar cast including Janhvi Kapoor, Ramya Krishna, and Saif Ali Khan in lead roles. Kapoor, in her Telugu debut, recently shared insights into the challenges she faced, having spent considerable time learning the language. She mentioned that her late mother, legendary actress Sridevi, who dominated the South film industry in the 90s, would often speak in Tamil when they visited Chennai. Despite being more familiar with Tamil, Kapoor is putting in the effort to master Telugu for her role in the film.

Director Koratala Siva had earlier revealed that “Devara” is a magnum opus set against the backdrop of the forgotten lands of Coastal India. The narrative is expansive, with each character carrying significant weight. The decision to create the film in two parts stems from the need to explore and establish characters in detail and depth. The film is slated for release on April 5, 2023.

Devara is reportedly being made on a substantial budget, with around Rs 140 crore allocated for VFX. Approximately 33 per cent of the film’s original budget has been dedicated to special effects. The director is focusing on completing the shooting of action sequences to provide ample time for the VFX and technical team to deliver an unparalleled cinematic experience.

Produced by Yuvasudha Arts and NTR Arts, the film features music by Anirudh Ravichander.
