Koratala Siva delivered a mediocre film for NTR fans with Devara Part 1 and is now working on improving Devara 2 based on the negative feedback received.
While the sequel was initially expected to start this year, the latest buzz suggests it might be delayed by two more years.

NTR is currently occupied with War 2, where he shares screen space with Hrithik Roshan, aiming for another pan-India blockbuster. Up next, he is set to begin his highly anticipated film with Prashanth Neel, which is reportedly kicking off tomorrow.
Given Neel’s track record with KGF and Salaar, expectations are sky-high for his collaboration with NTR. The director has planned a massive setup, ensuring the film justifies the hype.

For this, NTR is expected to dedicate nearly two years, from 2025 to the second half of 2026. That means Devara 2 might only start by late 2026, potentially pushing its release to 2027 or even 2028.
Neel is known for writing unbelievably heroic characters, so he must have designed an extremely powerful and ferocious role for NTR.

This raises a big question: after experiencing the high of Neel’s film, will audiences be eager to watch NTR in Devara 2, where his character was subdued and failed to excite?
Koratala’s writing for NTR in Devara Part 1 lacked impact, and NTR’s performance didn’t stand out. Fans feel Devara 2 could act as a dampener after the high-voltage experience of Neel’s film, making its future uncertain.
