In the past few days, social media has been abuzz with rumours that Kollywood actor Silambarasan TR is to be part of Koratala Siva's Devara 2, landing a substantial role alongside Jr NTR and Janhvi Kapoor. This sensational news sent shockwaves through the STR fans, as they believed his inclusion would take the movie to new heights.
However, we regret to burst this bubble: after confirming with a close source, it’s been confirmed that the news is nothing but a hoax. STR has neither signed onto Devara 2 nor has he been approached by the makers.
Currently, the actor is in Phuket, Thailand, focused on preparing for his upcoming project with Vetrimaaran, tentatively titled #STR49. Backed by Kalaipuli S. Thanu under V Creations, the movie is all set to go on floors in Tamil Nadu in the second week of October.
The actor, who already has a couple of projects lined up—announced on his birthday—plans to complete them before considering any 'lucrative' offers. STR, a well-known name in the industry, has frequently made headlines with his movie lineup, though many times, those announcements have been dismissed as rumours.
Meanwhile, Silambarasan TR is undergoing an impressive physical transformation for his intense role in #STR49. The project is reportedly set parallel to Vetrimaaran’s 2018 hit Vada Chennai, with many of the original characters from the film set to feature once again in this gripping follow-up.
