Devara new poster: Saif Ali Khan looks menacing as Bhaira in his first look

Devara, Jr NTR’s next pan-Indian film after RRR, is progressing at a brisk pace. Koratala Siva is the writer and director of the action entertainer that has Janhvi Kapoor playing the female lead while Saif Ali Khan is cast as the antagonist. The film is produced by Sudhakar Mikkilineni and Kosaraju Harikrishna under NTR Arts, owned by Jr NTR’s brother Nandamuri Kalyan Ram, and Yuvasudha Arts.

Commemorating Saif Ali Khan’s birthday today, the makers unveiled a new poster of the film that showcases his new avatar as Bhaira. “Team #Devara wishes the powerhouse of talent, the man who oozes sheer brilliance in every role, Bhaira Aka #SaifAliKhan a very Happy Birthday. The ultimate face-off awaits on the big screens. In Cinemas 5th April 2024,” NTR Arts tweeted this noon.

Saif Ali Khan plays a middle aged man, sporting long hair and beard (indicating his age). He appears menacing as Bhaira, where he dons a black kurta, absorbed in his thoughts. The backdrop indicates a coastal setting, where there are a series of boats. While he has acted in a Telugu film Adipurush already, Devara will be Saif’s full-fledged production in the Telugu land.

The film has a top notch technical team. While Ratnavelu cranks the camera, Sabu Cyril is the production designer and ace technician Sreekar Prasad is the editor. Anirudh Ravichander, who has been in the news for his score for Jailer, composes music for the actioner that is being shot on a huge scale. Devara will have a release in five languages - Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam.

The first look posters of Jr NTR, Janhvi Kapoor are a huge hit with audiences already. Major portions of Devara will be wrapped up by the end of 2023. Jr NTR is slated to join hands with Salaar filmmaker Prashanth Neel after Devara. Director Koratala Siva’s last release was Acharya, starring Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan.
