12 Sep - It was a new experience for Saif Ali Khan, who recently worked on his first ever Telugu film, "Devara".

The actor, who spoke to the media at the trailer release of the film on 10 September, shared that filming the movie felt like stepping into a new cinematic landscape despite his many years in the business.

"I remember my first shot speaking Telugu, and I had a bit of sweat running down my back. I felt nervous in a very different way. I come from the same country, but our states are different from one another. Going down there was a totally different experience," he said.

Admitting that adapting to a new language and the cinematic tradition of South Indian films were a unique challenge, Saif, however, is thankful to his co-star NTR Jr. and director Koratala Siva for giving him the chance to do the movie.

"Movies made in the South have recently been mind-blowing and to get a chance to act in a film like this, I did feel like a newcomer. I have spoken the language, I love the movie, and I also loved what I have done in it," he added.

Saif plays a dual role in the movie, just like NTR Jr in the highly anticipated film, which revolves around a high-stakes conflict between Saif's character Bhaira and Jr NTR's Devara.

Part 1 of the film will be released on 27 September 2024.
