Koratala Siva’s Devara Part 1 received mixed reactions from NTR fans, and the director is now reworking Devara 2 to address the criticism. While the sequel was initially expected to go on floors this year, the latest reports indicate it could be delayed by at least two more years.
Currently, NTR is fully occupied with War 2, where he shares screen space with Hrithik Roshan in what promises to be a pan-India blockbuster. Following this, he is set to begin his much-anticipated project with KGF and Salaar director Prashanth Neel, which is reportedly kicking off tomorrow. Given Neel’s track record of crafting larger-than-life characters, expectations are sky-high for this collaboration.
NTR is expected to dedicate nearly two years to Neel’s film, from 2025 until the latter half of 2026. As a result, Devara 2 might only commence by late 2026, potentially pushing its release to 2027 or even 2028.
This situation raises an intriguing question—after witnessing NTR in an intense, power-packed role in Neel’s film, will audiences be as eager to see him return for Devara 2? Many fans felt that Devara Part 1 underutilized NTR, with his character lacking the impact they had hoped for. Given the high-voltage experience Neel is expected to deliver, there is growing concern that Devara 2 might struggle to maintain excitement, making its future uncertain.
