On Friday, production house Yuvasudha Arts announced that Siva’s next film will be with Balakrishna. They wrote, “The Stars Align. A Festival Awaits. #NBKxKoratalaSiva #NBK112.” The text on the poster they released reads: “Power meets purpose. Mass becomes a moment. Shoot begins soon.” A source close to the unit says, “The director has already locked the script, and regular shooting will commence soon.” Further details regarding the cast and crew have yet to be announced.Internet wonders about Jr NTR’s Devara 2
When Devara was released in 2024, the film received lukewarm reviews and grossed ₹428 crore worldwide. Since then, there have been reports that the film is being shelved. Jr NTR, however, insisted after its release that the sequel would be massive. He even addressed the film's reviews and told India Today, “The director has already locked the script, and regular shoot will commence soon.” Earlier this year, producer Sudhakar Mikkilineni also insisted Devara 2 would be made and said at an event, “We will begin shooting for it in May this year. We plan to release it next year, in 2027. The film will surely be another blockbuster hit.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Devara Movie (@devaramovie) However, come May, it is Balakrishna’s film that was announced. Confused fans took to the internet to wonder whether Devara 2 had been shelved. One X (formerly Twitter) user commented, “Devara 2 thiyyakunda veedu oorantha thiruguthunnada (This man is roaming around without making Devara 2).” Another wrote, “Devara 2 radhu ani na pandhem 175rs (I bet ₹175 that Devara 2 will not be made).” Numerous people also commented, “Devara Part 2 officially shelved?” Responding to the numerous comments wondering about Devara 2, one X user even joked, “Adhi teliyalantey meku mundhu devara katha teliyaali (If you want to know that, you must first know Devara’s story),” referring to a dialogue from the film which later became a meme. Tarak is currently shooting for a yet-to-be-titled project with Prashanth Neel, which will be released in 2027. Balakrishna is also shooting a film with director Gopichand Malineni. The film also stars Nayanthara in the lead role.
