NTR and his fans put high hopes on his Bollywood debut, War 2. Even the industry people thought it would be the start of more such biggies that combine North and South actors. However, War 2 turns out as a big disaster, and its result also affects Devara 2.
Before a few months. There was a belief among industry circles that if a movie is a sequel or a part of a franchise, then irrespective of content, that movie will work big at the box office.
But slowly industry started to understand that the people are not excited for all sequels or franchise films, with War 2 being the latest example.
Devara 2’s Progress in doubt after War 2’s result
NTR has a sequel to Devara in the pipeline, which is supposed to start at the end of this year or early 2026. However, the result of War 2 will definitely hurt Devara 2, and NTR will think thoroughly before starting it, despite Devara being a box office success.
If we observe, Devara did not receive unanimous applause for its content, and especially the cliffhanger for the sequel misfired badly. So, it is certain that Devara’s sequel is not carrying the anticipation that Baahubali, KGF, and Pushpa carried among audiences.
With all these equations, Tarak needs to make the right decision, and he should start Devara 2 only if it has solid and better content than the first part. Also, the team needs to create the required anticipation from the shoot itself and should not think that the sequel will have a default craze, and it will open massively at the box office.
Devara 2 is definitely a risky venture, as Telugu audiences might get excited due to the NTR factor or stardom. But for other languages, the team needs to do something to create excitement from the beginning.
We need to see what decision NTR would take, but before and after War 2 there would be a change of mind for NTR and team on the sequel of Devara.
