Devara is all geared up to surpass the recent big-budget film Kalki 2898 AD in all eight territories of the Telugu states.
Despite Kalki 2898 AD being made on a staggering budget of ₹600 crores, double that of Devara, and boasting a star-studded cast that includes Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Deepika Padukone, Devara is expected to outshine it in terms of opening day collections.
