Devara was first announced as a two part film just like several other recent pan-India biggies. Choosing to do so, Devara’s 2nd half was impacted and many felt the 1st half was good but the 2nd half lagged. It was the popular opinion of a large set of audience that the film could have easily ended in one part itself and climax twist did not work for all.
Devara achieved massive box-office success due to NTR’s mega Stardom. Just the Telugu version of the film achieved 200 crore share worldwide ending up amongst the top Telugu box-office performers of all time. However, there is very less excitement on part 2. One of the main reason for this is the lead up for part 2 did not work. After the OTT release, this feeling has become even stronger and even several NTR fans are now questioning the needs for a part 2.
Now this feedback might hurt the team and there is a buzz in the industry circles that sequel may not happen. NTR has also committed to back to back films which will take long time in production. He is doing War 2 and will be next working with Prashanth Neel. After this project, he has also signed a project with Nelson Dilipkumar. Now we need to see what decision Koratala Siva and NTR take on this.
