xSaif Ali Khan, who recently appeared as Lankeshwar (Ravan) in Prabhas's ‘Adipurush’, is gearing up for an epic showdown against another Telugu powerhouse, Jr NTR, in the upcoming film ‘Devara’.

‘Devara’ has generated immense anticipation within the Telugu film industry, competing with the buzz around Mahesh Babu's ‘Guntur Kaaram’ and Allu Arjun's ‘Pushpa: The Rule’. For Jr NTR, this film marks his return after the resounding success of ‘RRR’. The question arises whether he can surpass his own performance in ‘RRR’ through ‘Devara’. Additionally, Jr NTR is also part of the much-awaited ‘War 2’ alongside Hrithik Roshan.
Against the backdrop of a picturesque island, ‘Devara’ unfurls its narrative with the sea assuming a pivotal role. Jr NTR assumes the mantle of the protagonist, while Saif Ali Khan takes on the role of the antagonist, Bhaira. Notably, the first look posters for both NTR's character in ‘Devara’ and Janhvi Kapoor's character have already been unveiled. Now, the curtain has been lifted on Saif's striking portrayal of Bhaira.
As the film's production is currently underway, ‘Devara’, produced by Sudhakar Mikkilineni with co-production by Harikrishna K, is set to grace screens on April 5, 2024, promising a cinematic experience that's bound to captivate audiences.
