Jr NTR is gearing up for Koratala Siva’s upcoming action thriller Devara Part 1. The film, set to release in cinemas on September 27, also features Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan in key roles. Recently, in an interview, Jr NTR revealed that Devara Part 1 was “never” intended to have a sequel.

He also spoke about Janhvi and Saif’s roles in the film. The makers of the film posted a clip on X, where director Koratala Siva and the cast are seen interacting with Sandeep Reddy Vanga. During the conversation, Jr NTR shared that while he and Koratala initially planned for just one movie, they soon realised the story was too big to fit into a single part.



“We never actually wanted to make this film in two parts. Never. We never had the intention of making it into two parts.

But going deep into it, when we started shooting for it, it’s character-driven,” he added.

He explained, “When it comes to Bhaira, I don’t think one part is enough to fully show the audience what Bhaira is about.

Even for Janhvi, her character’s name is Thangam. What you are going to watch is a beautiful love story, which is there in the film. But, it is not just a love story because you need to have a romantic track in a movie, it’s not that.

Janhvi’s character is completely interwoven with Devara’s character.” The actor also stated that Devara: Part 2 will be a “delight” for audiences to watch. Devara Part 1 is an epic action saga set in coastal regions, featuring a series of thrilling and emotionally intense events within a historical timeline.

The story centers around the lead character who emerges as a protector of the oppressed and a terror to wrongdoers. With this film, Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan are set to make their Telugu film debut..
