'Devara 2' UPDATE: Jr NTR sequel back on track; producer confirms progress

'Devara 2' starring Jr NTR and directed by Koratala Siva is finally back on track after a long wait. For many months fans were confused because of many rumours. Some said the film was delayed. Others said it was stopped completely.


Now the makers have given a clear update. The team is preparing to start filming soon. The sequel is expected to be bigger in story and scale. A tentative release is planned for 2027 as reported by Asianet.

Why expectations are very high

The first part of Devara released in 2024 and became one of the biggest box office performers of that year. Even though the film got mixed responses, it strongly attracted North Indian audiences. The response from there was unexpected and big. Because of this, expectations for Devara 2 became very high. People believed the sequel would take the story forward in a larger way. But suddenly many different news stories started coming out. There were strong rumours that the movie had been shelved.

Producer gives clear confirmation

Now, producer Sudhakar Mikkilineni has given an exciting update about Devara 2. He attended an event in Jangaon recently and clearly said that 'Devara 2' is happening. He revealed that the film will start in May. He also said that the movie will be released next year and that Devara 2 will be a big blockbuster. This update has given mixed reactions online.

Social media reacts to the news

After the update, social media was filled with comments. One Reddit user wrote, "Everyone knows its not happening. NTR should focus on other projects and shelf this one if a part 2 coming out is true."


Another user said, "Buddy the producer himself confirmed that’s is on. And ntr himself confirmed it a few months ago. It’ll be made cheaply like part 1 and they’ll make good money again"


One more comment read, "The producer and NTR said that only when they were asked about it .... Obviously they will say part 2 is still on, them saying No will imply that they are admitting that part 1 is a loss venture and they don't want to do that..."


Another user added, "Waiting for janhvi kapoor 2 page dialogue."


Earlier on the first anniversary of the film the makers had already confirmed the sequel. The Devara team celebrated the one-year milestone on social media and wrote, “It’s been one year since HAVOC struck the shores, trembling every coast and the name the world remembers is #DEVARA.
