Jr NTR in Dual Roles
Jr NTR is set to portray two characters—the father, Devara, and the son, Varadha. While Devara is a formidable protector of the seas, feared by many, his son Varadha holds a grudge against him, believing his father abandoned the family. As the story unfolds, it’s hinted that Varadha must eventually take on his father’s legacy.
Saif Ali Khan as a Villainous Looter
Saif Ali Khan steps into the shoes of Bhaira, a kushti expert and looter from a coastal village. Bhaira and his men engage in stealing from ships and wreaking havoc. While Devara once kept them in check, it’s suggested that Bhaira ultimately betrays Devara to further his looting ambitions.
Janhvi Kapoor’s South Debut
Janhvi Kapoor, marking her South Indian cinema debut, plays Thangam, the love interest of Varadha. Following in the footsteps of her mother, the legendary Sridevi, Janhvi expressed her excitement at the trailer launch, calling this project her “ghar wapsi” (return home). She has also signed a film with Ram Charan, further cementing her presence in Telugu cinema.
Intense Action: 38 Days of Underwater Shooting
The film is action-heavy, featuring sequences shot both underwater and on land. Jr NTR revealed that the cast spent 38 days shooting underwater and 60 days above ground for the action scenes. The actor shared that filming the final scene, where he rides a shark, was especially challenging, as he spent an entire day in a massive tank to perfect the shot.
Jr NTR’s First Solo Release in 6 Years
Devara: Part 1 is Jr NTR’s first solo release since 2018’s Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava. While the actor was part of the 2022 blockbuster RRR, he shared the screen with Ram Charan. Fans are eager to see Jr NTR take center stage again, and they’ll soon see him in War 2 with Hrithik Roshan, his Bollywood debut. He also has a film with Prashanth Neel and will reprise his role in Devara’s sequel.
Conclusion With stunning action sequences, an engaging storyline, and a star-studded cast, Devara: Part 1 promises to be a thrilling cinematic experience. As Jr NTR returns to the big screen in a dual role, alongside Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor, fans can expect an epic tale of betrayal, legacy, and high-stakes drama.
