The highly anticipated film Devara: Part 1 has received a U/A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
Directed by Kortala Siva, the movie stars Jr NTR, with Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan making their Telugu debuts, and is set to release on September 27.
Following CBFC guidelines, four key changes were made to the film.
Three involved toning down violent scenes: a character kicking his wife was altered, another kicking his mother was modified, and a five-second shot of a body hanging on a sword was removed.
The fourth change addressed a scene where Jr NTR rides a shark, requiring a ticker to clarify the shark was CGI-generated.
With these adjustments, the film is set for release in its original Telugu, along with dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada.
Devara: Part 1 tells a generational saga of friendship and betrayal set in forgotten coastal lands.
The film features Jr NTR, Janhvi Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Prakash Raj, Srikanth, and Shine Tom Chacko in pivotal roles.
It is produced by Yuvasudha Arts and NTR Arts, with cinematography by Rathnavelu ISC, production design by Sabu Cyril, and editing by Sreekar Prasad.
Originally planned as a standalone film, Devara has been split into two parts, with the first installment arriving in theaters on September 27.
After Devara, Jr NTR is set to star alongside Hrithik Roshan in War 2.
