Leading actor NTR and director Koratala Siva are teaming up for the action drama ‘Devara‘. This pan-India film is eagerly awaited by cinema enthusiasts and fans across the country. Featuring music by the young sensation Anirudh, the film stars Bollywood beauty Janhvi Kapoor opposite Tarak. Initially, the makers announced an October 10th release date. However, there is strong buzz in Tollywood that the release date might be changed.
Coming sooner..!
The film ‘Devara’, directed by Koratala Siva starring Tarak, is rapidly progressing through its shooting schedule. The first single from the movie has already been released to positive reception. Currently, there’s strong speculation that ‘Devara’ will hit theaters earlier than the announced date, possibly two weeks prior, with plans moving forward for a September 27th release.
The reason for the prepone!
Originally, ‘OG‘, starring Power Star Pawan Kalyan, was slated for a September 27th release. However, with Pawan Kalyan dedicating his time entirely to Andhra Pradesh politics and his recent oath as a minister, his availability for ‘OG’ shootings is in doubt, leading to talks that ‘OG’ might not release this year. Thus, the ‘Devara’ team is considering seizing the date locked for ‘OG’, hoping for a release on September 27th if everything goes as planned.
Shooting in Goa..
Currently, the ‘Devara’ team is busy shooting in Goa. Scenes involving romantic sequences between Tarak and Janhvi Kapoor are being filmed. The first single composed by rockstar Anirudh Ravichander has created a sensation on YouTube. Preparations are underway to release a second song soon, rumored to be a romantic melody.
OTT rights sold for a hefty price!
Before its theatrical release, ‘Devara’ has already sold its OTT rights. Netflix has secured these rights for a substantial amount, with reports suggesting a deal worth approximately Rs. 155 crores. It is agreed that ‘Devara’ will stream on Netflix 56 days after its theatrical release, with potential releases in multiple South Indian languages besides Telugu and Hindi.
NTR’s role in ‘Devara’!
After the success of ‘Janatha Garage’, expectations are high from the NTR and Koratala Siva combo in ‘Devara’. Tarak is set to portray a leader resolving the issues of coastal communities. Director Koratala Siva is expected to elevate NTR’s heroism to epic proportions in this film. On the other hand, Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan is playing a powerful villain, a role that promises to be as formidable as the protagonist. ‘Devara’ is planned to be released in two parts, adding to the anticipation among the audience.
