⚠️ THE SEQUEL THAT STARTED WITH HYPE AND ENDED IN DOUBT
When Devara was released last year, it arrived with roaring expectations and thunderous promotions. It went on to become the highest-grossing film of Jr. NTR’s career, surviving a battlefield of competing releases despite mixed talk. The makers boldly announced Devara 2, imagining a massive franchise.
But today?
The sequel stands surrounded by confusion, doubt, and zero excitement.
Trade circles are whispering. Fans are divided. Rumors are exploding.
And suddenly, the biggest question in tollywood is:
Is Devara 2 even happening — or is it already dead?
💥 1. A HIT THAT DIDN’T CREATE HUNGER FOR MORE
Devara Part 1 made money — but it didn’t make magic.
The problem wasn’t the box office.
The problem was the connection.
Audiences walked out feeling:
The world-building didn’t hit deeply
The characters felt distant
The emotional core never tightened
The Part 2 setup felt forced
people expected the film to grow on OTT.
It didn’t.
Even hardcore ntr fans didn’t develop a newfound obsession.
And without obsession, sequels collapse before they’re written.
💣 2. THE TWO-PART idea ALWAYS FELT ARTIFICIAL
From day one, the industry murmured that Devara was never meant to be two films.
It looked like:
A production strategy
A marketing gamble
A forced extension
Part 1 didn’t create the kind of cliffhanger or emotional ache that demands continuation.
Instead, viewers felt the story was cut abruptly — not to build excitement, but to create a Part 2.
And today?
That decision is haunting the makers brutally.
🚨 3. NTR’S PACKED SCHEDULE IS NOW A MAJOR ROADBLOCK
Fresh reports hint that ntr is:
Buried under multiple big commitments
Eyeing films with top directors
Looking for fresh, powerful scripts
Not particularly excited about re-entering the Devara world
The failure of War 2 only tightened his caution.
Franchises without emotion?
Audiences reject them instantly.
Actors get blamed immediately.
NTR is too smart — and too busy — to risk it again.
⚠️ 4. industry SOURCES: “THE REAL PROBLEM IS zero BUZZ”
Trade experts aren’t mincing words.
They say the real crisis is simple:
NO ONE is excited for Devara 2.
Not the general audience.
Not the neutral fans.
Not even a huge portion of NTR’s own fanbase.
When a sequel starts with cold air, not electricity, the outcome is nearly predetermined.
🧨 5. koratala siva MAY BE MOVING ON TOO
Rumors suggest koratala siva is now:
Working on a new project
Less focused on Devara 2
Testing the waters for a different direction
Because making Part 2 without pressure requires one thing:
Genuine demand.
And that demand simply does not exist.
💀 6. FANS ARE NOW SPLIT INTO TWO WARRING CAMPS
Camp A: “Scrap It. Let ntr Do Better Films.”
This group believes:
Devara didn’t deserve a sequel
The world didn’t land strongly
Another part only invites negativity
ntr should move to fresh, powerful scripts
Camp B: “The Story Is Incomplete — Don’t Kill It Now.”
This group says trolls are poisoning public perception.
They insist that:
Part 2 will fix Part 1’s shortcomings
The story has much more to tell
Rumors are being spread to weaken the film
Both sides are loud.
Both sides are emotional.
But the makers remain silent, which is only adding fuel.
🩸 7. WITHOUT AN OFFICIAL CLARIFICATION, THE WORST ASSUMPTION WILL WIN
Until koratala siva or ntr speaks, one belief will dominate the industry:
Devara 2 might actually be shelved.
And if it is, it won’t be because Part 1 failed.
It will be because it failed to make people care.
