In the latest development surrounding Jr. NTR’s much-anticipated film, ‘Devara,’ there are indications that the release date may be pushed back. Speculations suggest that the movie is now slated to hit theaters in the latter half of 2024, owing to extensive VFX work causing delays in post-production.
Starring Jr. NTR, Janhvi Kapoor, and Saif Ali Khan in lead roles, ‘Devara’ is set to be released in two parts, with the first installment scheduled for release later this year. According to reports from Pinkvilla, the film’s high-end VFX demands more time than initially anticipated, prompting the filmmakers to consider a postponement. Sources close to the production emphasize that the delay is solely due to the meticulous nature of the visual effects, as the team is committed to delivering a grand cinematic experience.
Addressing earlier rumors of Saif Ali Khan being the cause of the delay, insiders clarified that the postponement is unrelated to any issues with the actor. Reports confirm that Saif Ali Khan has already completed shooting his parts for the film, which has wrapped up entirely.
The teaser for ‘Devara’ was unveiled on January 8, creating a buzz among fans. Directed by Kortala Siva, the film marks Janhvi Kapoor’s debut in Tollywood and features Jr. NTR in a leading role. With a budget of Rs 140 crore, the high-octane action film has generated significant anticipation among the audience. Stay tuned for further updates on the release schedule of ‘Devara.’
