Devara 2 in Trouble? Producer Spills the Tea on Jr NTR’s Next Move

The writing may be on the wall for Devara 2, and honestly, the industry is talking. Producer Lagadapati Sridhar didn’t mince words when addressing the sequel’s uncertain fate, essentially suggesting that Jr NTR needs a creative reset. His comments about period dramas becoming ‘outdated’ and today’s audiences demanding relatable storytelling felt less like casual observation and more like a polite autopsy of Devara’s cinematic vision.

Let’s be real — Devara Part 1 was a mixed bag. Jr NTR gave everything he had, carrying both father and son roles with raw intensity, but the film’s old-school narrative couldn’t quite match his electric screen presence. Meanwhile, director Koratala Siva has quietly moved on to NBK112 with Balakrishna, which pretty much confirms what fans feared.

The silver lining? Jr NTR’s upcoming NTRNeel, arriving June 2027, appears to signal a fresh chapter. His War 2 crossover success proves his pan-India superstar status is undeniable. But here’s what we want to know — should Jr NTR revisit the Devara universe someday, or leave it behind entirely?
