Jr NTR is all set to star in the upcoming action-drama film Devara. Due to the movie’s immense canvas and grandeur, director Koratala Siva revealed that the film will be a two-part release in order to do justice to its meticulously detailed storytelling.
Taking to social media, Siva said in a video, “The film is set against the forgotten lands of coastal India and the canvas is too big. As we started shooting the film, the canvas revealed itself and started getting bigger and bigger. Every character in the film has its own weight and they need to be explored and established in depth and in detail, which we can’t justify in one part.”
Concluding his message, he said, “So, we took the decision to tell this big story and canvas in two parts. The story won’t change in shape but will thrive in scale. One of the biggest canvases ever of Devara will be done in two parts and April 5, 2024, is just the beginning.”
Devara has been touted as one massive spectacle with immense grandeur and worldbuilding which is filled with a lot of lore and character development. The makers have kept the details of the film under the wraps.
The movie also stars Janhvi Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Shine Tom Chacko, Mera Srikanth and Prakash Raj in pivotal roles. The film is produced by Yuvasudha Arts and NTR Arts, and presented by Nandamuri Kalyana Ram. The first part of Devara is slated to hit the screens on April 5, 2024 across India.
The film’s music is done by Anirudh Ravichander with R Rathnavelu being the cinematographer.
