NTR's 'Devara' Gets New Release Date?
Jr NTR's highly anticipated film 'Devara' is rumoured to have its release date changed once again. Sources suggest that the team plans to advance the release by two weeks to September 27th. This strategic move aims to secure a three-week window at the box office before the Dasara festival. Originally scheduled for an April 5th debut, the film's release was postponed to October 10th due to delays in shooting and elections. Several fans expressed disappointment over missing the chance to watch 'Devara' during the festive Dasara season.
If the rumoured plans materialize, 'Devara' will be released on September 27th, a date currently reserved for Pawan Kalyan's gangster drama 'OG.' However, sources indicate that the chances of 'OG' making its scheduled release appear slim. Pawan Kalyan's active involvement in election campaigning has kept him away from film commitments. His political engagements will remain a priority until June 4th, after which he will need to rest before resuming work.
Pawan Kalyan has multiple films in his pipeline. 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu,' 'OG,' and 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh,' await Pawan's return. While director Sujeeth only needs a month for Pawan's portions in 'OG,' the outdoor locations and post-production concerns make rushing the process challenging. Additionally, the team of 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' has confirmed that the first part will be released in 2024, further reducing the chances of a timely debut for 'OG'.
By scheduling on September 27th, 'Devara' can avoid competing with Suriya's 'Kanguva' and establish a strong presence in North India. Capitalizing on this opportunity before Dasara could prove crucial for its success. As industry insiders speculate, audiences eagerly await official confirmation from the 'Devara' team.
