Devara pre-release business:
Jr NTR’s highly anticipated film Devara is gearing up for its global release on September 27, 2024. Directed by Koratala Siva, this action-packed movie is already generating significant excitement, both among fans and in the entertainment industry. Devara marks a milestone in Jr NTR’s career, coming after his international success with RRR. The film is a unique combination of gripping storytelling, intense action sequences, and a stellar cast.
Biggest Solo Pre-Release Business
Devara has achieved an impressive pre-release business, making it the biggest solo film in Jr NTR’s career so far. With pre-release theatrical rights valued at Rs 182.25 crore, the film is on track to set new records at the box office. The break-even target for the movie is Rs 184 crore, which is expected to be easily achieved once it hits the theaters.
This figure is particularly notable given the fierce competition within the South Indian film industry. The film will be released in five languages—Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi—ensuring a wide-reaching audience. The Nizam region alone accounted for Rs 44 crore of the pre-release business, followed by significant contributions from Ceeded, UA, and overseas markets.
Star Cast and Characters
Devara stars Jr NTR, affectionately known as ‘Young Tiger’ by his fans, in the lead role. The film also introduces Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor to Telugu cinema. Saif plays Bhaira, the movie’s antagonist, while Janhvi Kapoor portrays Bangaram, the female lead.
The storyline revolves around Devara, portrayed by Jr NTR, who is caught up in smuggling activities alongside his friend (played by Srikanth Meka). A betrayal leads to a dramatic conflict between Devara and Bhaira, setting the stage for high-octane action scenes. The film also delves into Devara’s quest for vengeance after learning the truth about his father’s fate.
The creative team behind Devara is equally impressive. Koratala Siva, who has worked with Jr NTR before, is both the director and writer. Known for his ability to blend mass action sequences with social messages, Siva promises to deliver an impactful movie experience.
The production is helmed by Sudhakar Mikkilineni and Kosaraju Harikrishna under the banners of Yuvasudha Arts and NTR Arts. The film’s technical aspects are handled by a talented crew: cinematographer R Rathnavelu, editor A Sreekar Prasad, and music composer Anirudh Ravichander. The electrifying music and gripping background score are expected to heighten the movie’s dramatic appeal.
