With expectations riding high, since it marks the return of Jr NTR in theatres post the grand success of RRR, all eyes are on his next release Devara. Adding to the anticipation, the recently released first look teaser of the movie has garnered ample praise from fans who are expecting the movie to be an action and VFX-heavy entertainer. Because of the extensive effects and as filmmaker Kortala Siva is keen on creating a completely new world for this big-budget movie, we hear that the makers are planning to push the release of this Janhvi Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan starrer even further.

Devara: Release of Jr NTR starrer may be postponed, reveals reports

It seems that the makers will not retaining the release date in April since they want to ensure that the VFX used in the film is top-notch, because of which, reports have it that they are keen on taking more time to work on it. A source was quoted confirming the postponement in Pinkvilla reports, saying, “Devara is a high on VFX film and the output is taking longer than expected. The makers are clear to not compromise on the visuals as the stakes are high. NTR Jr. is also very cautious about next after RRR and wants to deliver a big cinematic experience. The makers are now looking to arrive in the second half of 2024.”

According to the same report, another reason that may have contributed to the delay is the injury suffered by Saif Ali Khan. Since Devara is an action-packed drama, they want the actor to take as much time as possible to recoup, so that he can spring back to action. For the unversed, Saif will be seen as the antagonist in this action drama, set against the backdrop of the sea.  “They don’t want to risk by shooting till the last minute and then delivering a compromised product on the edit and visual front. It’s better to wait for the right moment and come up with a film that stands true to the promises made,” the source added.

Devara, directed by Kortala Siva, is expected to be a two-part film with the first half to release on April 5. However, with news about the release date being postponed, there has been no official announcement on the new date.

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan teaser: Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’s MASSIEST film to date; grand action and ‘Hindustan’ dialogue will generate mass HYSTERIA in cinemas

Both Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff had an underwhelming 2022 and 2023. But looks like they’ll have a rocking 2024 if the teaser of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is anything to go by. The 1 minute 41-second-long promo packs in a lot and yet, keeps a lot of aspects of the film under wraps.

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan teaser: Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’s MASSIEST film to date; grand action and ‘Hindustan’ dialogue will generate mass HYSTERIA in cinemas

The first half of the teaser introduces the menacing villain, played by Prithviraj Sukumaran. Interestingly, his face isn’t shown and his voice and actions do the talking. The antagonist has an AI connection and that adds to the madness. And then our heroes are introduced and that takes the teaser to another level.

Both Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff are bona fide action stars. Hence, it looks quite convincing to see them doing death-defying stunts. Both also mouth a massy dialogue involving ‘Hindustan’. In cinemas, it’ll be greeted with claps and whistles for sure. In fact, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan seems to be their massiest film to date.

The credit for this slick Bade Miyan Chote Miyan teaser should also go to the makers. Director Ali Abbas Zafar deserves brownie points as he proves that he’s one of the best directors today when it comes to action films. There’s no doubt that he knows the genre well and his sharp talent is visible from start to finish. No wonder that until one point, he was the only filmmaker, besides Rajkumar Hirani, to have had two Rs. 300 crore grossers in his filmography. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan can be his third giant success, provided the content clicks.

Lastly, the producers Vashu Bhagnani and Jackky Bhagnani, too, deserve credit. They have mounted the film on a huge scale. They have gone all out to ensure the audience gets to see a grand action entertainer on the big screen. Technically, too, the film looks rich. Be it cinematography, VFX, production design or VFX, everything seems top-class.

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan releases on Eid 2024. Here’s hoping the songs and trailer also land well. Once that happens, nothing can stop this action entertainer from taking a huge start and emerging as Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’s highest-ever opener.

Prashanth Neel’s Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire starring Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran is currently running in theatres and has also arrived on Netflix in multiple languages.

Recently during an interview, the actor Tinu Anand was asked to share his experience of working in Bollywood and Southern movies, and while replying on the same, he said, “There’s only one shot of Prabhas, in the entire teaser. Rest, it’s me, talking about a character. Prithviraj was there, his wife was there, Prabhas was there, Prashanth was showing it on his laptop, and all of us just set down around his laptop and we saw the teaser. The first thing Prabhas did was, Prabhas walked across and suddenly he embraced me. ‘Tinu sir, too good sir, too good!’ You know, that gives you a lot of confidence. It gives you a lot of respect for the other person who’s praising you in front of everybody, though he had only one shot in it. Then Prithviraj’s wife turned around Prashanth and said ‘Release this immediately, it’s so good!’ So all of them congratulated me and That is one thing which I, somehow is a warm feeling which I get over there, which is missing here in Bollywood.”

Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire stars Prabhas, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Jagapathi Babu, and Shruti Haasan and is directed by Prashanth Neel.
