Many viewers have expressed dissatisfaction with Janhvi Kapoor’s role as Thangam in the movie Devara: Part 1, directed by Koratala Siva. Despite the anticipation surrounding her Telugu debut, her screen time is notably brief, limited to only about 15 minutes. She appears primarily in the second half of the film and is featured in just two songs, which has led to disappointment not only among fans but also for Janhvi Kapoor herself.
Janhvi Kapoor’s limited role has sparked discussions about her character’s significance in the upcoming Devara 2. Director Koratala Siva is said to have assured fans that her character will have a more substantial presence in the sequel, although details about how prominent Thangam will be remain uncertain. The second part is expected to begin filming in late 2025 or early 2026, after Kapoor completes her work on another Telugu film, RC16 alongside Ram Charan.
Meanwhile, Devara: Part 1 has been performing well at the box office, generating significant revenue since its release on September 27, 2024. The film has reportedly earned over ₹230 crore so far, indicating strong audience interest despite few debates like this.
