NTR’s “Devara” Sets New Records in North America

Young Tiger NTR’s highly anticipated film, “Devara,” is set to take the box office by storm. The pan-Indian project, scheduled for release on October 27th, has already generated immense buzz and excitement among fans.

The craze surrounding the film was evident at the cancelled pre-release event, where the overwhelming crowd forced authorities to intervene. The film’s popularity has also translated into impressive pre-release sales, particularly in North America. “Devara” has surpassed the $2 million mark in pre-release sales, making NTR the first Indian actor to achieve this feat.

The makers of “Devara” have strategically promoted the film, employing various tactics to build anticipation. Celebrity interviews with figures like Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Siddhu Jonnalagadda, Vishwak Sen, and Karan Johar have further fueled the hype.

The film boasts a stellar technical crew, with Anirudh Ravichander composing the music, Rathnavelu handling cinematography, Sabu Cyril overseeing production design, and Sreekar Prasad editing. “Devara” is presented by Kalyan Ram under “NTR Arts” and produced by Sudhakar Mikkilineni and Kosaraju Harikrishna.

One of the film’s unique selling points is the decision to unveil the fourth song, “Aayudha Pooja,” exclusively in theaters. This strategic move aims to enhance the theatrical experience and generate additional buzz.

Directed by Koratala Siva, “Devara” is a crucial film in his career. The film features Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead and Saif Ali Khan as the antagonist, Bhaira. With its impressive pre-release buzz and strong technical team, “Devara” is poised to be a major box office success.
