Devara: A Brief Synopsis
Devara (played by Jr. NTR) is the leader of Yerra Samudram, a group of four villages located near Ratnagiri. Alongside Bhaira (played by Saif Ali Khan) and Narappa (Srikanth), he engages in piracy for a powerful criminal named Muruga (Murali Sharma), looting cargo ships for profit. However, upon discovering that these shipments contain weapons used to oppress innocent people, Devara decides to end his involvement. This enrages Bhaira, who manipulates Narappa to betray Devara.
Following a fierce battle in which Devara defeats his attackers, he vows to protect his village, warning everyone against further smuggling activities. Twelve years later, Vara, Devara’s cowardly son, is forced by Bhaira to continue his father’s illegal work, setting the stage for an epic confrontation.
