Previously, Jr NTR talked about the underwater sequences in Devara: Part 1. The actor said, “We had one option of shooting it in Kapoli because that was one of the biggest pools we had. And then, for some strange reason, we decided to overspend and create a pool in the studio, in which we were shooting for predominantly our action sequences. It was a massive pool because we shot for about 30-35 odd days underwater. That is a phenomenal episode…It is one of the key sequences of Devara. And again, we are speaking about a world that is in the coastal regions of India. So, we really had a lot of water elements,” in a conversation with Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
