The first part of Devara was earlier expected to release on April 5. The director had earlier taken to social media to explain why the film needs to be released in two parts. He said, ““The film is set against the forgotten lands of coastal India and the canvas is too big. As we started shooting the film, the canvas revealed itself and started getting bigger and bigger. Every character in the film has its own weight and they need to be explored and established in depth and in detail, which we can’t justify in one part. So, we took the decision to tell this big story and canvas in two parts. The story won’t change in shape but will thrive in scale. One of the biggest canvases ever of Devara will be done in two parts and April 5, 2024 is just the beginning.”

The film is the second collaboration between NTR Jr and Koratala Siva after their hit 2016 film Janatha Garage. NTR Jr was last seen in SS Rajamouli’s RRR. He is also said to be part of War 2 but an official confirmation is awaited by the makers.
