Speculations about the portrayal of Dev, Shiva’s father, circulated widely after the film’s release, with names like Hrithik Roshan, Kannada star Yash, and Ranveer Singh surfacing among fans’ discussions. Now, Ranveer Singh is the chosen one for the role of Dev in the sequel.
According to sources cited by News18, “Ranveer has officially signed on to portray Dev. While the scripting for the second part continues, the film is anticipated to commence production in 2025.
