About The Film
Directed by Koratala Siva, the movie also stars Shruti Marathe, Prakash Raj, Srikanth, Shine Tom Chacko and Narain in pivotal roles. The action-packed film boasts larger-than-life scenes, however, despite Saif Ali Khan’s presence and NTR Jr’s charisma, the weak storyline falls short. Janhvi Kapoor, whose name was marketed well by the makers, had a blink and miss appearance in the film.
Devara will also return for its second instalment however, no official date has been announced by the makers yet.
