On Tuesday evening, much to the delight of ardent fans of Jr. NTR, filmmaker Koratala Siva shared on Devara film's official X account, formerly known as Twitter, that the much-anticipated action-thriller will be released in two parts.
Check out his exclusive video below.
Addressing film fans in Telugu, the Janatha Garage filmmaker shared, “The film is set against the forgotten lands of coastal India and the canvas is too big. As we started shooting the film, the canvas revealed itself and started getting bigger and bigger. Every character in the film has its own weight and they need to be explored and established in depth and in detail, which we can’t justify in one part. So, we took the decision to tell this big story and canvas in two parts. The story won’t change in shape but will thrive in scale. One of the biggest canvases ever of ‘Devara’ will be done in two parts and April 5, 2024, is just the beginning.”
From the filmmaker's words, fans can look forward to the release of the first part on April 5, 2024, which was officially touted as the release date of the film, when announced earlier this year.
