Director Koratala Siva said that he would love to see Ranveer Singh or Ranbir Kapoor in the sequel to Devara. Devara: Part 1, which released recently in theatres and stars Jr NTR in the lead alongside Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan.
Koratala Siva in an interview with Zoom said that he wishes to bring some prominent names from the industry for the sequel of the film. He said, “I won’t say cameos also, they are very important characters in the film and we are going to unveil very soon, character by character.”
He added, “Actually, I have my own wish list. I don’t know whether that can happen or not. To be very honest, I would love to see Ranveer Singh or Ranbir Kapoor in the world of Devara. I won’t take too many names from the Telugu or Tamil industries. If I reveal some names there will be too much of assumptions and speculations.”
Devara: Part 1 received mixed reviews upon release. It has made Rs 258 crore at the box-office in India, according to Sacnilk.com.
CE’s review of the film read, “The writing in the latest Jr NTR starrer fails on multiple levels. Koratala Siva brings up an interesting conflict point where the protagonist Devara, initially shown as having a guilty conscience about how he is taking forward the legacy of his forefathers, eventually grows a moral backbone after a revelation and decides to take the right path, risking his own life. However, this plot point isn't woven well enough in the post-interval portions.”
