Em BGM kottav ra babu literally goosebumps. Akkada worst scene unna sare nee bgm mathram thaggaledhu. Your BGM gave me goosebumps. Your music stuck with me even in scenes that were horrible.”

The film will be made in 2024 and released in 2025. This is not a spontaneous decision, our writer Srikanth pitched the idea to us last December. It’s an exciting plot,” he said.

Teasing fans about the plot, he said, “One interesting thing about Devil 2 is that the film will show both the 1940s and 2000s era. It’s going to be exciting.”
