Devara: Jr NTR's Film Delayed, Makers Now Lock THIS Release Date, Know Here

Jr. NTR’s highly anticipated film ‘Devara’ will not hit theaters this coming April. Being a multilingual release, the actor has now officially announced the new release date of the film as October 10, 2024. The film also stars Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan in pivotal roles.

Promising intense action sequences and an extraordinary orchestral musical score, ‘Devara Part 1’ will grace theatres on the occasion of Dussehra, October 10, 2024. The same was officially announced by Man of Masses NTR Jr on social media in a special post that read, “#Devara Part 1 releasing on 10.10.24.”

Announcing the release date, NTR Jr unveiled a new poster of the film featuring him in an intense fight sequence backed by a huge mountain adorned with signs of Lord Shiva. Check out the poster here:

A source close to the production house had earlier informed Pinkvilla, “Devara is a high-end VFX film, and the output is taking longer than expected. The makers are clear about not compromising on the visuals, as the stakes are high. NTR Jr. is also very cautious about next after RRR and wants to deliver a big cinematic experience. The makers are now looking to arrive in the second half of 2024.”

Amid the ongoing VFX work, about 20 days of shooting are also remaining, which has been pushed due to Saif’s injury.

Earlier this year, the makers released the much-awaited teaser for the film. The video opens with a Jr. NTR fighting scene. He is seen dressed as a village man who is fighting with goons. The night scene does not show everyone’s face clearly, but it is surely an intense, gripping scene.

On January 1, Jr. NTR shared a poster. In the poster, the actor was seen standing on a boat in the middle of the sea. He kept an intense look on his face as he also sported a shirt with black pants.

Devara is set against the coastal lands and is helmed by Koratala Siva. The film marks Janhvi Kapoor’s debut in South films and her first-ever collaboration with Jr. NTR. Just like RRR, this Telugu movie will reportedly have high-octane action sequences that are expected to blow away the minds of the audience. As per reports, Devara is being made on a huge budget. The makers are reportedly spending a whopping Rs 140 crore on its VFX. The rumour mill is rife that the makers are also spending 33 percent of the movie’s original budget on special effects.

Directed by Koratala Siva, ‘Devara Part 1’ will unfold in two parts. The magnum opus is produced by Yuvasudha Arts and NTR Arts, and presented by Nandamuri Kalyan Ram. The film’s music is orchestrated by Anirudh Ravichander, and the cinematography is handled by R Rathnavelu. The film’s BGM song titled ‘All Hail The Tiger’ also went viral on social media, leaving fans even more excited for the film.
