Actress Janhvi Kapoor, known for her roles in movies like ‘Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl’, ‘Roohi’, and ‘Bawaal’, is all set to start the second schedule of shooting for her upcoming movie ‘Devara’ on October 24. This under-production movie also stars the globally successful Jr NTR, known for his historical fiction movie ‘RRR’, and Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan. The movie marks the reunion of Jr NTR with director Koratala Siva after their successful collaboration in ‘Janatha Garage’ released in 2016.
According to a trusted source, Janhvi will dedicate her time to shooting in Goa starting from October and the schedule will extend until January next year. The source stated, “Janhvi is scheduled to begin the second shoot for ‘Devara’ alongside NTR Jr on October 24. She had previously shot for the first schedule for just three days. Her schedule for the film in Goa will last approximately for 3 to 4 months, until January next year."
Director Koratala Siva had earlier revealed that ‘Devara’ will be released in two parts in order to maintain the integrity of its intricately woven narrative. Through a video shared on social media, Siva mentioned, “The movie is set in the unexplored lands of coastal India, and the canvas is vast. As we proceeded with the shooting, the canvas started expanding. Each character in the movie has its own significance and deserves to be explored and established in great depth, which cannot be justified in one part alone.”
Siva concluded his message by saying, “Hence, we decided to tell this expansive story in two parts. The essence of the story will remain consistent, but it will flourish in terms of its scale. ‘Devara’ will be presented in two parts, thus beginning its spectacular journey on April 5, 2024.”
‘Devara’ is co-produced by Yuvasudha Arts and NTR Arts, and is presented by Nandamuri Kalyana Ram.
