The project's future is now shrouded in uncertainty

The Sandalwood film industry is abuzz with anticipation and concern as the release of the highly awaited movie ‘Devil,’ starring Darshan, faces significant hurdles.

The film was slated to commence shooting today, marking a crucial phase in its production. Yet, Darshan’s legal predicament has put the entire project on hold, leaving producers and fans in a state of anxious waiting. The situation draws a parallel to the 2011 release of ‘Sarathi,’ another Darshan starrer that faced significant challenges due to the actor’s imprisonment for a personal matter. Despite these obstacles, ‘Sarathi’ emerged as a super hit, a testament to Darshan’s enduring popularity and the resilience of his fan base.

The producers of ‘Devil,’ who have invested crores in the film, now find themselves in a precarious position. The Film Chamber has pledged full support to director Milana Prakash, with President NM Suresh expressing hope for a positive outcome. The production team is fervently hoping for Darshan’s swift release and the successful completion of the film.

As discussions swirl around the potential release of ‘Devil,’ industry insiders and fans alike are left to wonder: Will ‘Devil’ replicate the success of ‘Sarathi’? Can Darshan overcome his current challenges to deliver another blockbuster? Only time will tell, as the Sandalwood community watches and waits with bated breath.
