Koratala Siva recently expressed confidence about the positive reception of Jr NTR's upcoming film Devara: Part 1, set to release on September 27, 2024. As anticipation builds on social media, the director shared his thoughts on the film's appeal, particularly in Northern states.

In an interview, he emphasized that he doesn't make calculations regarding audience reach while crafting his stories. Siva believes that a film's connection with viewers transcends regional boundaries and hinges on its universal themes. He cited successful films like Lagaan and Dangal, which resonated with audiences nationwide, regardless of their regional origins.

Siva concluded by asserting that if the emotional core and drama of a film are effectively conveyed, there should be no doubt about its acceptance by Hindi audiences. With a star-studded cast, including Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor, Devara marks Jr NTR's return as a solo lead after a significant hiatus.
