After months of uncertainty and delays, Darshan Thoogudeepa’s highly anticipated film The Devil has once again captured the spotlight. In celebration of the Kannada superstar’s birthday, the filmmakers unveiled an electrifying teaser, giving fans a glimpse into what promises to be an action-packed cinematic experience.
Directed by Prakash Veer, The Devil showcases Darshan in a powerful and intense avatar, hinting at a gripping narrative filled with high-voltage action and drama. Alongside Darshan, the film features a stellar supporting cast, including Rachana Rai, Mahesh Manjrekar, and Vinay Gowda, all playing significant roles that add depth to the storyline.
Fans of Darshan, fondly known as ‘D. Boss,’ have expressed immense excitement about his long-awaited comeback to the big screen. Social media platforms have been flooded with enthusiastic reactions to the teaser. One fan commented, “Darshan is not just acting; he is truly living in that character—pure goosebumps overloaded.” Another fan shared a heartfelt birthday wish for the actor in Kannada, “Happy birthday, dear D. Boss, ನೀವು ಇನ್ನು ಮುಂದೆ ಹೊಸ ಕನಸು ಹೊತ್ತು ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ಕಾಳಜಿ ಇತ್ತು ಮನೆಗೆಮೊದಲ ಆದ್ಯತೆ ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳ ಜೊತೆ ಸದಾ ನೀವು ಇರಿ ಲವ್ ಯು ಬಾಸ್.” (Translation: “May you continue to chase new dreams, be socially responsible, prioritize your family, and always stay with your fans. Love you, Boss!”). Another user wrote, “Our childhood hero is still ruling. All the best from Yash fans.” Yet another excited fan praised Darshan’s transformation, saying, “Wow, what a look, Boss! This is the best I’ve ever seen Darshan Sir look. Absolutely superb!”
Despite the current wave of excitement, The Devil has had a tumultuous journey. The film faced significant production delays following Darshan’s legal troubles, which created uncertainty regarding its completion. On June 11, 2024, Darshan was arrested in connection with an alleged murder case, bringing the movie’s shooting schedule to an abrupt halt. With key portions of the film left unfinished, the project remained in limbo for several months.
However, there was renewed hope when Darshan was granted bail by the Karnataka High Court on December 13, 2024. Following his release, speculation about the film’s status started gaining momentum, and now, with the teaser launch, it appears that production has resumed in full swing. This has reignited enthusiasm among fans who eagerly await more updates, including an official release date.
Given the massive buzz surrounding The Devil, industry insiders predict it will be one of the most awaited Kannada films of the year. The teaser alone has created tremendous hype, and expectations are high for Darshan’s return to the big screen. His fans believe this film could mark a triumphant comeback, re-establishing him as one of Sandalwood’s top stars.
Apart from The Devil, Darshan’s last release was Kaatera, which hit theaters in 2023. Directed by Tarun Sudhir, Kaatera was well-received by both critics and audiences. The screenplay, crafted by Tarun Sudhir in collaboration with writers Jadesh Kumar Hampi and Maasthi Upaarahalli, showcased Darshan in a compelling role that resonated with his fans.
As anticipation builds for The Devil, fans are keeping a close eye on further developments, hoping for an official announcement regarding the film’s release. With Darshan back in action and the teaser generating immense buzz, the film is poised to be a significant milestone in his career. Whether it lives up to the sky-high expectations remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—The Devil has already captured the imagination of Sandalwood fans, making it one of the most discussed films in recent times.
