Devara stands as a pivotal project for both Jr NTR and Siva Koratala. The first installment of this two-part series is scheduled for release in theaters on October 10, 2024. However, the Devara team finds themselves at a crossroads, compelled to seek an alternative release date due to the looming threat from Superstar Rajinikanth’s latest venture.
Just recently, Rajinikanth unveiled his upcoming film, Vettaiyan, helmed by T J Gnanavel, also slated for release on October 10, 2024, coinciding directly with Devara’s planned premiere. Given Devara’s pan-Indian appeal and confirmed release in Tamil, its potential to thrive amidst Rajinikanth’s star power could be compromised unless a strategic decision is made to postpone its launch.
Speculation has been rife online that Devara might be rescheduled for release on September 27, 2024. However, this proposed date coincides with the release of Dulquer Salmaan’s Lucky Baskhar. While Lucky Baskhar may not pose a substantial threat to Devara in Telugu-speaking regions, fervent fans of Jr NTR advocate for a carefully selected, clash-free release date to ensure a seamless launch and maximize box office returns. The uncertainty surrounding Devara’s release date leaves enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the decision of the production team.
Produced by NTR Arts and Yuvasudha Arts, this gripping action saga features Janhvi Kapoor as Jr NTR’s romantic interest, with Saif Ali Khan essaying the role of the antagonist. Stay tuned for further developments on Devara’s release plans.
