Recently, NTR has mentioned his brother Nandamuri Kalyan Ram's relative, Hari, multiple times, emphasizing Hari’s importance to him and their family banner.
Regardless of others' opinions, NTR has made it clear that Hari is essential to both him and his brother, raising eyebrows in Tollywood.
His public statements have left many industry experts wondering why NTR chose to discuss this matter so openly.
Now, new rumors have surfaced. Producer Sudhakar Mikkilineni reportedly feels that Hari's involvement in the production could complicate things for Devara 2.
NTR Arts is involved in all of NTR's films, and it seems Sudhakar is concerned that production responsibilities might also be given to Hari, which he is not comfortable with.
Similar rumors had circulated in the past regarding the shelving of the Trivikram-NTR film over this issue.
It appears NTR is inclined to start Devara 2 after October 2025, but strong speculation suggests the producer is uneasy about the situation with Hari.
On another front, there are rumors that NTR is dissatisfied with the cinematography by Ratnavelu and feels that director Koratala Siva should address these concerns. This suggests that the director and the actor need to reach an agreement on this matter.
NTR might be indirectly hinting at replacing the cinematographer for Devara 2.
