Currently, NTR is immersed in filming “Devara,” poised to be one of 2024’s most awaited projects. Notably, this film marks the Telugu debut of Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan. Adding to the anticipation, rumors suggest another actor would make her Telugu debut.
The 37-year-old actress Shruti Marathe joins the cast in a supporting role, opposite Senior NTR, who portrays a dual role in the film.
While Shruti possesses talent, her success has been limited primarily to the Marathi industry. Despite ventures into Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam cinema, none of her performances garnered significant attention.
Surprisingly, Koratala Siva decided to cast someone like Shruti when he could have got any big and popular actress for the role. Perhaps he believes only Shruti can embody the character authentically, despite her adding zero face value to the film.
Devara could potentially pave the way for more opportunities in the Telugu industry if she delivers a compelling performance. However, if she falls short, Koratala may face criticism for his unusual casting choice.
