Pre-release Milestones: $2 Million in U.S. Pre-sales
Devara has already achieved a significant milestone by crossing the $2 million mark in pre-sales in the United States alone. This feat makes Jr NTR the first Indian actor to have back-to-back $2 million pre-sales in the U.S., following his success with RRR.

Adding to the excitement is Devara’s impressive cast. Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor makes her Telugu debut as the female lead, while Saif Ali Khan takes on the role of the antagonist. Veteran Tollywood actor Srikanth plays a pivotal role, making this ensemble cast even more appealing to a broad audience.
On the technical side, the film’s music is composed by the ever-popular Anirudh Ravichander, whose work has already captivated fans. The movie is produced by Yuvasudha Arts in collaboration with NTR Arts, with Nandamuri Kalyan Ram backing the project.
