The post-Baahubali years have witnessed a surge in Telugu filmmakers and actors embarking on lavish pan-Indian projects. The latest in this line is Devil, to be directed by Naveen Medaram and starring Nandamuri Kalyan Ram. The film’s tagline — ‘The British Secret Agent’ — reveals the actor’s role.
The film’s pre-look poster was released yesterday and it made us all to anticipate curiously for the first look poster that is out now, on the occasion of Kalyan Ram’s birthday. The film is titled intriguingly as Devil which denotes the ferocity of the protagonist. And it comes with the tagline- The British Secret Agent..
Clad in a blazer and panche kattu (dhoti), Kalyan Ram steps out of a train while holding a gun. He sports a new look with a handlebar moustache, and long hair in the first look poster. He looks like a DEVIL holding a gun and stepping out of a train, while there are numerous Indians sitting on the trains with Indian flags in their hands.
Set in Madras presidency Of British India in 1945, Devil is the story of a British secret agent who takes up the job of solving a dark mystery. This mystery is deeper than he could fathom and this leads him into a web of love, deceit and betrayal. His success and failure, both have serious repercussions and this mystery has the potential to change the course of history.
