NTR’s upcoming Telugu film, "Devara," directed by Siva Koratala, is generating considerable excitement as it gears up for its release on September 27th. The film’s trailer, which was recently unveiled, has received positive feedback, contributing to a growing buzz around the movie. However, fans of NTR are apprehensive due to a longstanding industry belief known as the ‘Rajamouli curse,’ which suggests that actors who collaborate with the renowned director often face disappointing results in their subsequent films.

Historically, NTR has experienced the impact of this supposed curse firsthand. After scoring hits with films like "Student No 1" and "Simhadri," he followed up with flops such as "Subbu" and "Andhrawala," respectively. This pattern of success followed by failure has been noted in his career, with similar outcomes occurring after hits like "Yamadonga" and subsequent flops like "Kantri." The anticipation surrounding "Devara" is thus tinged with concern, as it is NTR’s solo release after working with Rajamouli on "RRR."

Despite these concerns, NTR has expressed his nervousness about the film, acknowledging the pressure of returning with a solo project after six years. Speaking at the trailer launch, he shared his excitement about the film’s promotion and hoped that "Devara" would replicate the success of "RRR" in the North. With the film’s release date approaching, fans and industry watchers alike are keen to see if "Devara" can defy the so-called curse and emerge as a major hit.
