Jr NTR has again demonstrated why he’s one of the most transparent and down-to-earth stars of Indian cinema. In the face of whirling rumors and speculations over Devara 2’s status, the actor has now officially buried all doubts once and for all—Devara 2 is indeed on the cards.
As Devara became a box office hit and received decent reception, its sequel’s hype was, understandably, high. But things slowly started to wind down when NTR quickly transitioned to other major ventures like War 2 and his new film with Prashant Neel. The change in gear created huge gossip throughout the industry and among the fans that Devara 2 had been stealthily shelved.
“Devara 2 Will Definitely Happen” — NTR Clarifies
Speaking to the increasing concern and hype over Devara 2’s existence, NTR categorically stated, “To those who are saying there won’t be a part 2 for Devara, I want to make it clear—Devara 2 will definitely happen.”
This was announced in the recent MAD Square success meet, where NTR spoke to fans and media directly. His statement ended the current debates once and for all, and the fans heaved a sigh of relief. The actor did not stop there. He admitted that the sequel has been delayed due to unavoidable commitments, particularly the unexpected entry of Prashant Neel’s big-budget actioner in his calendar.
In typical Tarak style, he dealt with the issue with maturity and confidence, being transparent to his fans without evading the truth. It’s evident now that though Devara 2 might not be going on floors right away, it has not been cancelled or shelved.
Why the Rumors Gained Traction
The rumors surrounding Devara 2 had some basis. Following the success of Devara, which brought a deep, complex world and concluded on a cliffhanger, the sequel was bound to release soon. But soon things took a turn when Jr NTR came up with back-to-back big pan-Indian projects.
War 2 first followed, in YRF’s spy universe, as NTR will go head to head with Hrithik Roshan. That was followed by news of Dragon, a big-budget sci-fi drama, and then by a mighty partnership with KGF director Prashant Neel. And when fans believed that was the whole roster, NTR teased about one more movie under Jailer fame Nelson’s direction, which would be bankrolled by Naga Vamsi.
This packed schedule automatically brought forth questions: Was there space for Devara 2 any longer?
Luckily enough, the actor himself has cleared these apprehensions, pointing out that Devara 2 is not a project but a promise.
The Lineup: NTR’s Calendar Is Jam-Packed With Biggies
With War 2 almost ready, the movie is scheduled to release in theatres over the Independence weekend, hoping to make a patriotic splash. The movie has just one week of shooting left, and NTR will be completing his portions soon.
Next, he will get straight into Dragon, a high-concept film that has generated interest due to its genre and size. Dragon’s shooting is slated to commence this month.
Also waiting in the wings is the highly-anticipated action epic with Prashant Neel. With the KGF and Salaar director at the helm, expectations are through the roof for what they intend to do with NTR as the lead.
Lastly, the actor also dropped a hint at a light, massy entertainer with director Nelson, who is known for his offbeat style of filmmaking. The project is expected to start late in 2026.
In all this, NTR gave fans a promise that Devara 2 will go on the floors either later this year or early next year. This obvious scheduling puts fans’ minds at ease that the sequel is being provided with the time and planning it needs.
Devara 2: A Sequel Worth Waiting For
While the initial buzz around Devara 2 was not as high as that of the first installment, it still boasts tremendous potential. The first one established a new cinema universe with the blend of action, folklore, and politics that was accepted by Telugu viewers. The cliffhanger was enough to leave everyone with more questions than answers, which makes the sequel a compulsive chapter in the story.
With NTR resuming the project, it gets a second breathe of hype and buzz. Audiences are thinking that the setback in production would only lead to a better-crafted, intensified movie with even bigger visuals and richer storytelling.
NTR has always been cautious with his choice of films. His recent success such as RRR and Aravinda Sametha have demonstrated his versatility and range. His dedication to Devara 2, even amidst balancing several big films, indicates how dear the story and its characters are to him.

In an industry usually beset by evasive replies and delayed confirmations, Jr NTR’s openness is a breath of fresh air. His assurance of Devara 2 coming on floors within a specified timeline has reignited the interest of fans and industry observers alike.
With War 2, Dragon, and the Prashant Neel project already making waves, Devara 2 is set to become yet another gem in NTR’s star-studded slate.
The sequel is not put on the shelf — it’s just waiting for the appropriate time. And when the right time arrives, it will be worth waiting for.
