Talking about the challenging shoot, Jr NTR explained, “We shot for close to 30-35 odd days, underwater and over the water. It’s one of the most important sequences of Devara.” He also shared how this wasn't just a typical water scene, and it involved a huge effort to make everything look as real as possible. The production team set up a 200 by 150 water tank where most of the sequence was filmed. Elaborating on it, Jr NTR mentioned how they used diggers to create artificial waves and motors in the water to add small ripples, mimicking the natural movements of the sea.

The actor also explained that because the story takes place in a coastal region, water was a constant theme throughout the action sequences. “We really had a lot of water elements, shooting on water and in water,” revealed the Telugu superstar. To make it even more realistic, they used motorboats and wave machines to capture the true essence of a coastal environment. “These action sequences are high on intensity. There are moments that will just sweep you off your feet when you see them,” he added, reflecting on the enormous effort it took to pull off such a visually stunning sequence.

Devara: Part 1 is set for release on September 27, 2024. The film is directed by Koratala Siva and produced by Yuvasudha Arts and NTR Arts, with presentation by Nandamuri Kalyan Ram. Alongside Jr NTR, the film also marks the Telugu debut of Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan.
