Did Koratala Siva take a dig at THIS senior actor?
Koratala Siva’s much-anticipated action drama, Devara, starring Jr NTR, is set for a grand release on September 27, 2024. This will be Koratala Siva’s second collaboration with Jr NTR, also known as Tollywood’s ‘Young Tiger.’ Bollywood stars Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan are making their Telugu debuts with this film, which has been generating significant buzz.
Even before the release of its trailer, Devara has set new records with advance bookings, particularly in the northern USA, where the film has already crossed the $1 million mark in pre-sales. The combination of Jr NTR’s fanbase and the anticipation surrounding the film has led to massive excitement, ensuring that Devara is one of the most awaited releases this year.

During the Devara promotional interview titled Fun & Fierce, where Jr NTR and Koratala Siva spoke with actors Vishwak Sen and Siddhu Jonnalagadda, Koratala Siva made a statement that has sparked curiosity. The filmmaker talked about the importance of staying focused on one’s own responsibilities, saying, “If everyone sticks to their job and doesn’t interfere in others’ work, it’s peaceful, and things run smoothly.” Fans speculate this could be a veiled comment directed at his previous film Acharya, where there was reportedly tension with senior actors over creative decisions.
This comes after Chiranjeevi, who starred in Acharya, hinted in a Waltair Veerayya success meet that filmmakers should heed advice from industry veterans, a comment that many felt was directed at Koratala Siva. Following the commercial failure of Acharya, Koratala faced financial strain, which has added more intrigue to his latest statements.
