As fans celebrate the success of Devara: Part 1, released in September last year, there’s been a flurry of speculation about the sequel. With Jr NTR juggling multiple big-ticket projects, uncertainty around Devara: Part 2 had fans worried. Despite circulating rumours that the sequel might be shelved due to scheduling issues, both director Koratala Siva and Jr NTR’s brother, actor Kalyanram, have confirmed that Devara: Part 2 is very much on the cards.
The delay in starting Jr NTR’s project with director Prashanth Neel sparked speculation. Many assumed that NTR would prioritize his Bollywood debut in War 2 and the high-octane action film with Neel, sidelining the Devara sequel.
With Jr NTR needing over a year to complete Prashanth Neel’s film, fans feared that the sequel might lose momentum or relevance by the time it’s revisited. Kalyanram reassured fans that Devara 2 will indeed happen. He explained that Jr NTR is currently committed to Prashanth Neel’s film and will begin work on Devara: Part 2 only after completing that.
The decision to delay was practical — director reportedly requested a makeover for NTR’s character in the sequel, and wrapping up Neel’s film first avoids any continuity issues.He’s expected to start shooting next week. The actor is prepping rigorously for his role in the action-packed drama and will appear in a toned, physically intense avatar.
With clarity restored around Devara Part 2 and a series of exciting projects lined up, Jr NTR continues to ride high as one of Indian cinema’s most bankable and versatile stars. His fans now eagerly await his new avatar in Neel’s action extravaganza, while holding their breath for the return of Devara’s compelling world in the much-anticipated sequel.
