The film did especially well in North America, where it earned more than the Hollywood film Megalopolis.
Director Koratala Siva Is Reworking The Script

Sources suggest that the actor feels the story did not land right and seemed forced. These remain unverified industry rumours, and there is no official confirmation from the team yet.
The reports indicate that the creative team wants to ensure the sequel lives up to the massive expectations set by the first film. When a film does well, the pressure on the sequel doubles. Everyone wants Devara Part 2 to be bigger, better, and more impactful than the original.
