In the past few days, the film has sold over 4300 tickets from just 22 locations, amassing over US $ 137,000 ( Rs 1.15 crore), with more than 25 days left for the release of the film. Over the past few days, no new screens have been added to the mix on the occasion of the long weekend in the USA because of Labor Day.

The film also marks the Telugu debut of Saif Ali Khan as the main antagonist, and Janhvi Kapoor as the leading lady of the film. On the occasion of Saif’s birthday on 16th August, the makers also released the first look of Saif as Bhaira. Few months ago, the makers revealed that Devara will be split into two parts. While Saif is the antagonist in the first part, Bobby Deol is reportedly the villain in the second part.
