Jr NTR and Janhvi Kapoor in Devara Part 1
Jr NTR, Janhvi Kapoor, and Saif Ali Khan-starrer âDevara: Part 1' is now available on OTT just two months after its theatrical release. Directed by the acclaimed Koratala Siva, 'Devara: Part 1' marks the return of superstar Jr NTR, following his Golden Globe and Oscar triumph with 'RRR'. While Jr NTR takes on a dual role, Saif plays a menacing antagonist.
âDevara: Part 1' can now be watched on the streaming giant Netflix, which has acquired the rights. In this film, Jr NTR takes on a dual role, playing both Devara and Varadha. His character is pivotal to the storyline, which revolves around a dramatic clash of wills in a coastal setting where power dynamics are in constant flux. Saif Ali Khan portrays Bhaira, a master of kushti (wrestling), whose seemingly invincible world is upended by Jr NTR's character. Adding emotional depth to the narrative, Janhvi Kapoor appears as Thangam, a village belle entangled in a love affair with Jr NTR's son. While the son appears to differ from his father in temperament, he might find himself compelled to rise to significant challenges.

While the first part made waves for its songs like âChuttamalle' and âDaavudi', fans who watched the film in theatres stated that there isn't much of Janhvi in the first installment.
As per IANS, Koratala Siva said in an interview, "She can bring plenty of freshness into the movie and have multiple dimensions to her character which will be unfolded in part 2. There is a lot of drama for her and surprising twists and turns that could happen with her character. You will have to wait and watch part 2 to see more of Janhvi!"

The film was released in multiple languages including Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi on September 27.
