NTR, who hasn't been on screen since "RRR" two years ago, will star in "Devara," directed by Koratala Siva and featuring Janhvi Kapoor. The film, set to release in two parts, will see its first part debut on September 27, after being postponed from April to align with the Dussehra festival.

Historically, actors following a film with Rajamouli have faced subsequent flops, with Charan's "Acharya" being a recent example. Despite confidence in "Devara," this sentiment lingers among NTR's fans. However, fans are optimistic due to a new sentiment: NTR's films "Student No. 1," "Janatha Garage," and "Jai Lavakusa," all released in September, were hits. Notably, "Student No. 1" was released on September 27, 2001. Fans believe "Devara," releasing on the same date after 23 years, will follow suit. Anticipation is high for NTR's return to the screen with "Devara."
