Devara marks the much-anticipated second collaboration between NTR and director Koratala Siva, following their successful film Janatha Garage. With RRR amplifying NTR's popularity, expectations are high for Devara, which promises to be a grand cinematic experience.

Recently, the film's unit stirred excitement by claiming that Devara would surpass the scope of Game of Thrones. In an interview, Kalyan Ram highlighted the film's extensive underwater sequences and elaborate set pieces, praising the work of set designer Sabu Cyril and NTR’s dedication. Koratala Siva has also hinted that Devara could be comparable to the acclaimed fantasy series.

However, the recently released theatrical trailer has generated mixed reactions. While it was expected to showcase a scale akin to Game of Thrones, many viewers have noted that the trailer’s content and scope resemble Koratala Siva's previous film, Acharya, rather than any Hollywood epic.

Despite the trailer's lukewarm reception, Devara—which will be released in two parts—still holds the potential to surprise and captivate audiences. Fans are hopeful that the film will meet its lofty expectations and elevate Telugu cinema on the international stage. The first part of Devara is set to hit theaters on September 27th, and the excitement around its release continues to build.
