Koratala on Devara backdrop.Renowned director Koratala Siva expresses his elation at collaborating once again with the reigning star Jr NTR for their highly anticipated film, 'Devaara.' Reflecting on their previous blockbuster, 'Janatha Garage,' Siva acknowledges Jr NTR as one of the finest actors of their generation, emphasizing his good fortune in working with him once more.
The narrative of 'Devaara' unfolds in the forgotten coastal lands of India, where the inhabitants endure the tyranny of ruthless lords. In this gripping tale, the fearless and seemingly animalistic behavior of the oppressed transforms when the protagonist steps in, wielding both brawn and brain, to instill fear and effect positive change.
Koratala Siva, recognized for his expertise in crafting action films grounded in real-life incidents, is reportedly basing 'Devaara' on the haunting Karamchedu incident. This tragic event, occurring near Bapatla in Andhra Pradesh in 1985, sent shockwaves throughout united Andhra Pradesh, involving the merciless massacre of Dalits, severe injuries, and the displacement of hundreds due to an attack by upper-caste goons.
"Srimanthudu," Siva's previous creation, delved into the theme of village adoptions during a societal trend. For his ambitious project 'Acharya' with Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan, he drew inspiration from the real-life Naxal movement. The source notes that movies grounded in real-life incidents resonate more profoundly with audiences, offering a genuine portrayal of the pain endured by victims and the unwavering defiance of those who stand against injustice. As 'Devaara' unfolds against the backdrop of historical and societal events, it promises to be another powerful cinematic narrative from Koratala Siva.
