Kasthuri Daily Serial – E 406 – 28th Feb

Hyderabad, India – The upcoming Telugu film “Devara,” directed by Koratala Siva and starring Jr. NTR, is generating immense buzz as one of the most anticipated projects in the Indian film industry. Made with a staggering budget of over 300 crores, this intense action drama is slated for a global release on October 10th, 2024.

The film’s production unit promises a career-defining performance by NTR, along with spectacular action sequences. Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan takes on the role of the antagonist, while Janhvi Kapoor makes her much-awaited Tollywood debut as the leading lady.

Adding to the excitement is the soundtrack composed by Kollywood’s star music director, Anirudh Ravichander. Popularly known as “Rockstar” by his fans, Anirudh boasts a national reputation for his electrifying music. His association with “Devara” is seen as a major plus point for the film, despite his previous Tollywood collaboration with Pawan Kalyan’s “Agnyathavaasi” failing to translate into box office success (though the music itself was well-received).

Anirudh has also composed music for successful Telugu films like “Jersey” and “Gang Leader,” but “Devara” presents a significant opportunity to solidify his presence in the Tollywood industry. Reports suggest that Anirudh is particularly invested in achieving a grand success with this pan-Indian project, potentially paving the way for further Bollywood ventures after his work on “Jawan.”

The pressure is on for Anirudh to deliver music that surpasses the already chart-topping “Pushpa Pushpa” song from “Pushpa 2” by Devi Sri Prasad. Furthermore, young actors Vishwak Sen and Siddhu have already amplified audience anticipation for the “Devara” soundtrack. The makers are planning a grand national launch for the first single, potentially featuring not only the music itself but also showcasing NTR’s signature dance moves.

Only time will tell if Anirudh will be able to meet these high expectations, but “Devara” is shaping up to be a major cinematic event with the potential to break box office records.
