Jr NTR and Janhvi Kapoor's Devara 2 might get shelved? Reports

Jr NTR and Janhvi Kapoor

Jr NTR's highly anticipated 2024 film, Devara: Part 1, has received mixed reviews from fans and critics alike since its debut. While the film finished on a suspenseful note, promising an intriguing continuation in the sequel, recent sources indicate that Devara: Part 2 may have been shelved entirely.

According to Let's Cinema, the makers have chosen to cease the production of Devara: Part 2. The reason for this decision is attributed to the fresh text and narrative offered by director Koratala Siva, which reportedly did not resonate with Jr NTR. The suggested storyline for the sequel seemed forced, lacking the natural growth viewers had anticipated following the first film.

Details on Devara 2

While these claims are hypothetical, and the creators have not issued an official statement, the revelation has stunned and bewildered fans, with many waiting for clarification in the coming weeks.

In the first half of Devara, Jr NTR played both the coastal village leader Devara and his son Varadha. Janhvi Kapoor starred as Venu, and Saif Ali Khan as the antagonist Bhaira. Interestingly, Devara marked Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan's Tollywood debuts, which added to the film's excitement. Actors like Prakash Raj, Srikanth, and Murali Sharma provided substance to the film's narrative. The film's soundtrack, composed by Anirudh Ravichander, was widely praised for matching the high-energy and emotional scenes.

On the work front of Jr NTR

Just a few weeks ago, the makers of Devara announced the second instalment, which coincided with the film's one-year anniversary. The makers posted, "It's been one year since HAVOC struck the shores, trembling every coast..." The name that the world remembers is DEVARA. The streets will never forget whether it released FEAR or earned LOVE. Now prepare for Devara2." This announcement generated even more interest in the sequel, which now appears to be in trouble.

In terms of current work, Jr NTR was most recently seen in War 2, when he made a much-anticipated appearance. Fans are now looking forward to his next big project, which is rumoured to be called Dragon. Dragon, directed by Prashanth Neel, is set to hit theatres in June 2026 and has already aroused interest.
