During the trailer launch of 'Devara: Part 1' in Mumbai, he shared that after 'RRR' this is his next film. “I am very nervous because this is my next film post 'RRR'. Moreover, 'RRR' was with my co-actor Ram Charan but this is my solo release after six years so there is a lot of nervousness which is building but very happy to launch the trailer of 'Devara' in the city of Mumbai because the experience we had while promoting 'RRR' was just surreal. The acceptance of the North has shocked us all. I hope it's repeated with 'Devara'.”

We come from the same country but our states are different to one another and going down there is a very exciting experience...I felt like a newcomer. I am very excited. I love the movie and what I did in the film. The South movie industry has given us so many incredible movies."
