NTR Actually Interested About Devara 2?
However, that is not even remotely the case, if we look at the latest statement of NTR at his recent promotional event in Japan.;

It can’t be denied that a junior NTR and Koratala Siva came to terms with the kind of mixed response that was generated by Devara right on the very day of its release. However, the film could manage to push through at the box office and ended up collecting ₹500 crore in full run.
However, there were several doubts about the prospect of the sequel of the film as it was reported that the first part did not have a strong enough foundation for the second part. It looks like NTR was also disinterested in the sequel after watching the performance of the first part.
However, that is not even remotely the case, if we look at the latest statement of NTR at his recent promotional event in Japan.
NTR confidently said that this sequel is going to be much bigger and better than the first part as he sounded confident about the core idea and the execution of the second part.
NTR stated that the first part is just a portion of the huge story that was designed for this film, and he confidently said the sequel will come with much bigger content and more engaging narrative.
With this, it can be understood that India is actually Exide and confident about the prospect of the sequel, and he is likely to get things working sooner than later.
