As per reports, Devara’s team had wrapped up the shoot in Hyderabad and moved to Goa last week for the next schedule. The Goa schedule, which started on March 19, included a song and was expected to last for a week. As per reports, a massive set was also built up at a beach in Goa where a fight sequence was to be filmed. Besides Jr NTR and Shruti, Jahhvi Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Prakash Raj, and others will act in this film.

Janhvi Kapoor is also poised to make waves in South Indian cinema with her debut as one of the female leads in Devara. As per the Deccan Chronicle report, there has been a substantial increase in Janhvi’s fees for the project as she has demanded a staggering Rs 10 crore for Devara. Janhvi faced a challenge while speaking Telugu in the film and she interacted regarding it with The Week. The actress said, ”I never learned Telugu and it is something I am ashamed of. I can understand it phonetically, but I can’t speak it. Yes, it is one of my biggest regrets. This part of me had been dormant for a while.”

Janhvi added that the Devara team is very patient and helpful. She expressed gratitude to them saying that despite working with such stalwarts, they are just a call away to help her with the lines.
