Jr NTR Unveils the Reason for Devara’s Division into Two Films

This Friday, Jr NTR will captivate audiences with his commanding performance in Devara: Part 1. Directed by Siva Koratala, this mass entertainer has already generated considerable excitement, particularly as it marks their third collaboration as writer and actor, and the second time Koratala takes on the director’s role. In a recent conversation with Alia Bhatt and Karan Johar, Jr NTR shared fascinating insights about the film, including the decision to split it into two parts.

Jr NTR revealed that the choice to divide the film was never part of the initial plan. As the story evolved, he encouraged Koratala to keep writing, leading to the emergence of new characters and subplots, which ultimately created an extensive narrative. He praised Saif Ali Khan’s performance, comparing it to his intense role in Omkara, suggesting it could be one of Saif’s standout performances in recent years. The revelation of the film’s five-hour runtime before completing the first half prompted the team to split the project, leaving fans eager for what’s to come from this dynamic duo.
