Jr NTR, the celebrated Telugu actor, admitted feeling nervous about the release of his upcoming film, Devara. During the trailer launch event in Mumbai, the actor revealed that Devara is his first film since the blockbuster success of RRR, and his first solo release as a leading star in six years, which has heightened his anticipation and nervousness. Nonetheless, Jr NTR expressed excitement to showcase the film and its trailer to his fans.
“I am very nervous because this is my next film after RRR. RRR was with my co-actor Ram Charan, but this is my solo release after six years, so there is a lot of nervousness building. But I am very happy to launch the trailer of Devara in the city of Mumbai,” Jr NTR said at the event.
Reflecting on his previous promotional visit to Mumbai for RRR, Jr NTR, also known as Tarak, recalled the overwhelming experience. “The experience we had when we were promoting RRR here was surreal. The acceptance from the North shocked us all, and I hope it repeats with Devara,” he added.
Devara, directed by Koratala Siva, will unfold in two parts, with the first installment set to release on September 27, 2024. The film, produced by Yuvasudha Arts and NTR Arts and presented by Nandamuri Kalyan Ram, features a star-studded cast including Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor, both making their debut in Telugu cinema. The magnum opus is an action-drama, expected to captivate audiences across India with its narrative. The film will be released in multiple languages, including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada, aiming to reach a diverse audience nationwide.
