Devara: Part 1 has quickly become one of the most anticipated films of the year, with fans eager to see the powerful ensemble cast come together. Recently, director Koratala Siva, along with the main cast members, Jr NTR, Saif Ali Khan, and Janhvi Kapoor, sat down with filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga for an exciting chat about the movie.

During the discussion, Jr NTR shared his thoughts on working with Janhvi Kapoor, who is set to make her Telugu debut in the film. He also couldn't help but draw comparisons between Janhvi and her legendary late mother, Sridevi.

Jr NTR on Janhvi Kapoor's Resemblance to Her Late Mother Sridevi

Jr NTR expressed how much Janhvi reminds him of her late mother, the iconic actress Sridevi. Reflecting on a moment from the shoot, Jr NTR said, 'I remember, there was this photoshoot where we did a look test of sorts. There was this picture of hers, which we released, where she was sitting on the boat and looking at the camera. She looked so much like Sridevi Garu. In certain angles, she just looks like her. We tried to capture a bit of that also on camera, but I don't think you can capture that in angles. But it is in the way she performs or in the way she smiles. It brings that reminiscence of Sridevi garu back.'

Janhvi, clearly touched by the compliment, responded by saying, "It is weird for me to say this, but I feel that more when I perform and speak in Telugu. I don't know if that makes sense. It just felt more like home to me.'
