However, he acknowledged the weight of expectations for Devara, noting, “With Devara, though I’m confident about the film, I can feel the enormous pressure now because this is my first solo release in six years.”
Working with director Koratala Siva for the fourth time, Jr NTR explained that while Devara was initially not intended to be a two-part film, the extensive runtime—over five hours—prompted this decision. He stated, “If audiences were open to a five-hour movie, we would have gone that route, but we chose to split it for better engagement.”
