Jr NTR excels in dual roles, portraying the fierce Devara and the naive, vulnerable Vara.

[{"selector":"#anim-475a6e54-61cc-42da-a445-cfed10749889","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-599c5e28-0c1e-44e7-8c2a-58179511bcc3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(1921.05277%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
