Koratala Siva’s much-anticipated film Devara: Part 1, featuring Jr NTR, Janhvi Kapoor, and Saif Ali Khan in pivotal roles, is set to hit theatres on September 27. The trailer was unveiled at a grand event in Mumbai, attended by the film’s cast and crew.
The 2-minute-39-second trailer immerses viewers in the world of Devara: Part 1, where a dramatic narrative unfolds, symbolized by a sea turned red. Saif Ali Khan’s character and his men inhabit a realm where fear is unknown—until the arrival of Jr NTR’s character disrupts their world. While Saif’s character appears to extend a handshake, his intentions hint at a deeper, strategic plan to confront the man who has introduced fear into their lives.
Janhvi Kapoor portrays a village belle who is romantically involved with Jr NTR’s character, the son of the film’s central figure. Though he seems to diverge from his father’s formidable path, he may be compelled to rise to the challenge when circumstances demand.
During his promotional tour in Mumbai, Jr NTR reunited with his RRR co-star Alia Bhatt and filmmaker Karan Johar. Fan pages on X (formerly Twitter) shared snapshots from their meeting, showcasing the trio posing together for the cameras.
In several photos, Jr NTR, Alia, and Karan are seen engaged in conversation against a backdrop featuring the phrase ‘Devara ka Jigra.’ Both Jr NTR and Karan sported casual blue-toned outfits, while Alia dazzled in a chic black dress paired with matching heels. Fans can look forward to a promotional video from the event, which is set to be released soon.
