After completing the brief Goa schedule recently, team Devara, front-lined by Jr NTR, had taken a small break to ring in Diwali and now the team is back at work. On Tuesday, the unit began the fresh schedule of the film at Aluminum Factory, Hyderabad where a village set has been put up. “After a brief festival break, our hardworking team is back on sets for another epic schedule. #Devara Part 1 - A big screen extravaganza unveiling on April 5th 2024,” the official handle of Devara team posted on X.

With the makers confirming it as an epic schedule, we hear portions of the film, an action-drama, will be shot at a specially designed set in Shamshabad as well. In fact, the majority of the film was shot at sets in Shamshabad until now.

Set against the backdrop of forgotten lands of coastal India, Devara marks the Telugu debut of Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan and Jahnvi Kapoor, while Srikanth and Prakash Raj are playing other supporting roles. Anirudh Ravichander is returning to the Telugu industry as a composer after a while with the film.

The film is a joint production venture between Mikkilineni Sudhakar’s Yuvasudha Arts and Hari Krishna Kosaraju of NTR Arts, with Rathnavelu handling the cinematography.
