Is Devara 2 Cancelled? Junior NTR’s Sequel Faces Uncertainty Amid Rumors
This year saw the release of several mega-budget South Indian films, and Junior NTR’s Devara was one of the most anticipated. The movie, directed by Koratala Siva, hit theaters on September 27 and received a mixed response from audiences. While the film performed decently, it didn’t live up to the high expectations, leaving Junior NTR reportedly unhappy with its reception. Now, rumors suggest that Devara 2, the planned sequel, might not materialize.
Devara: A Two-Part Project
Devara was envisioned as a two-part series. The first part, starring Junior NTR, Saif Ali Khan as the antagonist, and Janhvi Kapoor in a pivotal role, has already been released. However, there has been no official update regarding the sequel.
Earlier, it was speculated that the production of Devara 2 would begin soon after the first part, similar to the approach taken by the makers of Pushpa. Unfortunately, recent developments indicate otherwise.
According to a report by GreatAndhra.com, Junior NTR’s packed schedule could make it difficult for Devara 2 to proceed. After completing War 2, the actor is expected to start working on Prashanth Neel’s Dragon. Additionally, he reportedly has another Hindi project in the pipeline and a confirmed collaboration with director Sitara Nelson.
With such a busy slate, the question arises: when would there be time for Devara 2?
Rumors suggest that Junior NTR was not entirely satisfied with director Koratala Siva’s handling of Devara. There are also reports of dissatisfaction with the cinematography, adding to the uncertainty surrounding the sequel.
While multiple sources hint that Devara 2 may be shelved, no official confirmation has been provided by the filmmakers or Junior NTR himself.
The uncertainty around Devara 2 has left fans divided. While some hope for the sequel to move forward, others are skeptical given Junior NTR’s commitments and the mixed response to the first installment.
