‘Devara’ Following The Same Template Of ‘Pushpa’!

The highly anticipated pan-Indian film “Devara,” starring Young Tiger NTR, has undergone a release date shift. Originally slated for April 5th, the makers have announced a new release date of October 10th, much to the disappointment of fans.

In an effort to appease their supporters, the “Devara” team appears to be following the strategy employed by the “Pushpa” team. Similar to “Pushpa” releasing a song promo followed by the announcement of the first single’s release date, “Devara” is expected to unveil a song soon. Reports suggest a promo song release in the first week of May, with the full song potentially dropping around NTR’s birthday on May 20th.

This news comes amidst mounting pressure on the “Devara” team, including music composer Anirudh Ravichander, as the Indian film industry witnesses a constant stream of releases.

“Devara” unfolds in two parts, with the first installment arriving in theaters on October 10th. Janhvi Kapoor takes on the role of the female protagonist, Thangam. Presented under the banner of NTR Arts by Kalyan Ram, the film is produced by Sudhakar Mikkilineni and Kosaraju Harikrishna.

Saif Ali Khan portrays the antagonist, while Srikanth and Shine Tom Chacko play significant supporting roles. Sreekar Prasad handles editing duties, with the musical score composed by Anirudh Ravichander. The talented Rathnavelu serves as the cinematographer, while Sabu Cyril lends his expertise as the production designer. Koratala Siva takes on the dual role of writer and director for this ambitious pan-Indian project.

Will She Be A Perfect Match For Prabhas Onscreen?

Prabhas is working on multiple projects at the moment. A lot of heroes are unable to release one film per year these days. Pan-Indian heroes are taking 2-3 years for a single movie but a star like Prabhas is going on full speed with 4-5 projects in his hand. The Rebel Star arrived with ‘Salaar: Ceasefire’ in December and ‘Adipurush’ was released in June 2023. His much-awaited ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ is going to hit the screens soon. After that, Prabhas is going to work on ‘Raja Saab’, ‘Salaar 2’ and ‘Spirit’.

Along with these projects, it has been stated that the ‘Baahubali’ hero will join hands with ‘Sita Ramam’ director Hanu Raghavapudi. Set in a period backdrop, it is going to be a love story as expected and this project is raising a lot of curiosity even before getting started. Sources say that the regular shooting will commence once Prabhas completes the projects in his hands.

There is a lot of discussion going on regarding the heroine in the movie. Many names including Sreeleela, Mrunal and other Bollywood beauties were attached to this project. The latest we hear is that Hanu Raghavapudi has finalized on Janhvi Kapoor as the heroine. The official news has not announced but insiders say that the ‘Dhadak’ actress might romance Prabhas onscreen soon.

People are curious to see if this pair works out on the screen. Janhvi is quite young and Prabhas is not at his handsome best lately. Also, Hanu’s films usually need heroines to perform brilliantly and Janhvi is yet to prove herself as an actress. We need to see how things work out if Janhvi becomes the heroine. Currently, she is working on ‘Devara’ with NTR and another pan-Indian film with Ram Charan as the lead. She has a couple of Hindi films in her hand too.
