Jr. NTR’s upcoming film Devara has become the most awaited release in Indian cinema. NTR’s massive fan base, combined with Anirudh’s chart-topping music, has significantly heightened the excitement surrounding the film. The action-packed drama has already amassed nearly $1 million from North American premiere sales, with a strong possibility of surpassing the premiere record of Kalki 2898 AD. Directed by Koratala Siva, Devara marks his second collaboration with Jr. NTR after the success of Janatha Garage.
Amidst this tremendous hype, fans are eagerly anticipating the release of the film’s theatrical trailer, expected to be a key promotional asset. With Devara being Jr. NTR’s first solo project in six years, audiences are eagerly awaiting the trailer to get a glimpse of the world Koratala Siva has created, set against a dramatic oceanic backdrop.
While the buzz is particularly strong in the Telugu-speaking regions, if the trailer meets expectations, Devara could see solid openings in Tamil and Hindi markets as well. Given that Koratala Siva’s last project underperformed, the pressure is on him to deliver a hit with Devara. Whether the director can redeem himself remains to be seen.
