Bobby Deol in Devara
A source said, "Yes, the team is in talks with Bobby Deol and discussions are in the final stage. Bobby will also play an antagonist in this movie. Saif Ali Khan will be the main antagonist in Devara Part 1 and Bobby Deol will enter Devara Part 1 towards the end of the film. In Devara Part 2, both Saif and Bobby will have meaty roles as antagonists," an HT report quoted.
Janhvi Kapoor in Devara
Meanwhile, Janhvi Kapoor will also star alongside Jr.NTR for the first time. 'Devara' is directed by Koratala Siva. At the India Today Conclave in 2023, Janhvi said, “Working with Jr NTR has been a dream. I recently re-watched RRR. The magnitude of charisma that he has... to be able to share screen space with him will be one of the biggest joys of my life.”
Janhvi also shared her experience of working with Jr. NTR in an interview with Mashable India. The actor said, "I just shot a song with Jr NTR sir and I can’t wait to shoot our next song together. I want to dance with Jr NTR.”
Janhvi had shot for a song with Jr. NTR in Thailand. About Janhvi's role in the film, the same source told HT, "Janhvi Kapoor will not have a very extensive role in Devara Part 1. Most of her sequences will be part of the second film. But it’s an exciting role for her.”
