Prior to the poster release, the makers launched the track “Dheere Dheere” (or “Chuttamalle”). Soon after its release, the track became embroiled in controversy. The track’s composer, Anirudh Ravichander, has faced backlash for alleged plagiarism. The ‘Devara’ violates the copyrights of the Sri Lankan hit track “Manike Mage Hithe,” reportedly. Meanwhile, as the controversy escalated, the original composer, Chamath Sangeeth, responded to the criticism.

To address the debate, Chamath commented that she is a great admirer of Anirudh’s work and is pleased to see him drawing inspiration from her song. Chamath asked fans, “Is it just me, or do you also think that these two songs sound very similar?” Furthermore, she remarked that “Devara songs might just be tributes to other songs at this point.”

‘Devara’ will release on September 27, and Karan Johar will distribute the Hindi version of the film. Announcing on social media, he wrote, “Prepare for an early arrival for an epic showdown with the unforgiving storm! Man of Masses Jr NTR’s #Devara – in cinemas September 27, 2024.
