The highly anticipated film Devara, directed by Koratala Shiva, is set to release its first part this week. The film has generated GOOD buzz, with strong booking trends and a positive response to its recently released trailer across all languages.
There were rumours that Allu Arjun was originally meant to star in this main project. In 2020, Koratala Shiva announced a film called AA21 with Allu Arjun, produced by Yuvasudha Arts and Geetha Arts combo. However, due to Arjun’s busy schedule with Pushpa, the project faced delays.
After the underwhelming performance of Acharya, which was directed by Koratala Shiva, the rumoUrs surfaced that the AA21 project had been shelved. Subsequently, he decided to work with Jr. NTR, leading to the creation of Devara.
Recently, Koratala Shiva clarified in an interview that Devara is a completely different story and has no relation to the previously planned AA21. He also mentioned that there could be future projects with Allu Arjun. As Devara approaches its release, all eyes are on its box office performance.
