It has been 18 years since Omkara release. But still, the film continues to open doors for Saif Ali Khan. At the trailer launch of Devara, Saif revealed Jr NTR and Koratala Siva watched the Vishal Bhardwaj film before calling him for Devara. “I am glad that Tarak ji wanted me in it and Siva sir wanted me in it. I think they’d seen Omkara and remembered it. I should thank Vishal ji still," he said at the trailer launch in Mumbai.
Speaking about playing the role of Bhaira, Saif said, “It’s a very interesting character. Because there’s a young version, there’s an older version, there’s crazy make-up. Also, it’s more like an anti-hero than a straight antagonist. There are many layers to it."
Devara marks Saif’s first Telugu film. He praised the film industry. “It is like an entry into a new kind of cinema and according to me, a cutting edge of Indian cinema right now," he said. Saif also said, “I was really excited to get an offer from a big movie made from the South industry, they’ve made some incredible movies. And I think the future is going to be collaborations between North and South."
The Devara trailer gave a close look at Saif Ali Khan’s role in the film. The actor sports a rugged look in the film and faces off Jr NTR. Check out the Devara trailer below:
