Scheduled for release on September 27 this year, Devara has garnered attention due to its intriguing first look and the reveal of Jr NTR’s character.
Recent reports suggest that the movie’s storyline is inspired by a real-life tragedy that profoundly impacted Andhra Pradesh.
According to reliable sources, director Koratala Siva is known for basing his films on real historical events.
His previous works, such as Srimanthudu and Acharya, exemplify this approach. Similarly, Devara is reportedly based on the tragic Karamchedu massacre of 1985.
For those unfamiliar, the Karamchedu massacre involved violent acts by high-caste Kamma landlords against Dalits, resulting in deaths, severe injuries, and the displacement of many people. This horrific event left a deep scar on the social landscape of Andhra Pradesh.
As Devara approaches its release, a new poster featuring Jr NTR has been unveiled.
The poster, titled "Faces of Fear," shows two different expressions of the actor, leading to speculation that Jr NTR might play dual roles in the film, although there is no official confirmation yet.
The film features a star-studded cast, including Bollywood celebrities Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan.
Devara will hit the big screens on September 27.
