More details

Jr NTR plays a dual role in Devara: Part 1 as Devara and Varadha, aka Deva and Vara. Saif plays kushti expert Bhaira, while Janhvi plays Thangam. It tells the story of the titular character Devara, played by Jr NTR, who refuses to allow the men of Yerra Samudram to take part in illegal activities after doing it for years. It also shows how his son Vara steps up to carry on the family legacy.

Devara Part 1 marks Jr NTR’s first solo release in six years after 2018’s Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava. He was last seen in SS Rajamouli’s RRR with Ram Charan as his co-star in 2022.

An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film read, “If you’ve paid close attention to the trailers of Devara: Part 1, this is a story you can predict from a mile away. The film’s first half takes its time to set up the legend of the titular character and how he came to be the protector of the seas. Anyone who dares cross him is marked and almost left for dead. The men who never knew fear now do.”
