Is Jr NTR’s Devra: Part 2 shelved?
According to a report by Let’s Cinema, Devara: Part 2 has been shelved by the makers. According to speculations, director Koratala Siva had written a new draft for the film and narrated it to Jr. NTR.

More about Devara: Part 1
Devara: Part 1, starring Jr. NTR in the lead role, is the story of a village head, Devara. Along with his contemporaries, he makes his living by smuggling goods across the ocean for influential clients.
However, after an unfortunate incident reveals that the goods being smuggled are actually weapons, Devara turns against the practice and begins hunting down anyone involved. Betrayed by his own people, he disappears, leaving behind a chilling message and threatening to catch anyone who continues smuggling.
Years later, his contemporaries live in fear of Devara, while his son, Vara, holds a grudge against his father for abandoning him and his family. The film ends on a cliffhanger, setting the stage for the sequel.
Apart from Jr. NTR, the film stars an ensemble cast including Janhvi Kapoor (in her first Telugu film), Saif Ali Khan, Kalaiyarasan, Shine Tom Chacko, Narayan, Srikanth, Murali Sharma, Abhimanyu Singh and many others in pivotal roles.
