The World of Devara
The original action drama, directed by Koratala Siva, featured Jr NTR in dual roles- as father Devara and son Varadha. Released on September 27 last year, the film not only strengthened Siva’s reputation as one of Telugu cinema’s master storytellers but also marked the Telugu debuts of Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan.
The ensemble cast further boasted names like Prakash Raj, Shruti Marathe, Srikanth, Shine Tom Chacko, Narain, Kalaiyarasan, and Murali Sharma. Ending on a jaw-dropping cliffhanger, Devara teased the continuation of its saga. While Jr NTR and Koratala Siva had hinted at a sequel earlier, the makers have now sealed it with confirmation.
Fans can’t wait to watch Tarak reprise his powerful dual avatars, promising more breathtaking action and emotional depth in Devara 2.
What’s Next for Jr NTR?
After War 2 with Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR is gearing up for his much-hyped project with director Prashanth Neel. Tentatively titled Dragon, NTRNeel is already creating massive buzz as one of the most ambitious Telugu projects. Reportedly mounted on an unlimited budget, the film is aiming to surpass Neel’s earlier pan-India blockbusters.
