11 october 2024 : Koratala Siva, director of Devara, is eyeing a North-South crossover for the sequel, following the success of the first part which featured Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor. In an interview with Zoom, he shared his aspirations for the next installment, revealing his wish to cast Bollywood stars Ranveer Singh or Ranbir Kapoor in prominent roles, rather than just cameos.
