” I am glad that Tarak ji wanted me in it and Siva sir wanted me in it.'” Saif shared at the Mumbai event. ” I think they’d seen Omkara and remembered it. I should thank Vishal ji still.”

Saif’s character in Devara: Part 1, Bhaira, is a complex and multifaceted individual. ” It’s a very interesting character,” he explained. ” Because there’s a young version, there’s an older version, there’s crazy make-up. Also, it’s more like an anti-hero than a straight antagonist. There are many layers to it.”

Devara: Part 1 marks Saif’s debut in Telugu cinema, and he expressed his admiration for the industry. The trailer provided a glimpse into Saif’s role in the film, showcasing his rugged appearance and intense confrontation with Jr NTR. Alongside Saif and Jr NTR, the film also features Janhvi Kapoor, making her Telugu debut as well. Directed by Koratala Siva, Devara: Part 1 is a two-part epic produced by Yuvasudha Arts and NTR Arts, and presented by Nandamuri Kalyan Ram.

It has taken a while for the film to reach here since pre-pandemic it was an entirely different scenario where Salman Khan starrers were scoring as much in their opening weekend itself. However, these are different times and hence the kind of momentum that was evidenced for films in 2019 or before is just not coming in. Yes, there are exceptions like Pathaan or Brahmastra but then those have a different kind of pitch and aren’t regular affairs. This can be seen in the way how collections are coming for the Farhad Samji directed film in the second weekend, what with Sunday collections staying low at Rs. 3.50 crores. For a big holiday release, one would have been expecting a double digit score at the bare minimum on second Sunday but then that has hardly happened for any film during last 18 odd months ever since Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi opened theatres aga
