Kalyan Ram’s highly anticipated film, Devil, is finally set to hit the screens on December 29th, 2023, after facing a series of postponements. The delays were attributed to pending VFX works, creating anticipation and speculation among eager fans. However, the excitement took an unexpected turn when the film encountered another controversy – a significant change in the directorial credit.

Originally helmed by Naveen Mederam, the film witnessed a sudden alteration as the director’s name was replaced by producer Abhishek Nama. This move sparked confusion and raised eyebrows among the Netizens, leaving many to speculate on the reasons behind this abrupt change. The promotional materials began presenting Devil as directed by Abhishek Nama, creating an air of mystery around Naveen Mederam’s absence.

Breaking the silence surrounding the controversy, Naveen Mederam issued an open letter today, shedding light on the situation. He revealed that he directed a substantial portion of the film during the 105 days of shooting. Naveen expressed his disappointment at the decision to remove his name, attributing it to careless decisions driven by ego and greed. Despite this, he refrained from taking legal action, extending gratitude to hero Kalyan Ram for his support. Naveen remains confident that Devil will be a blockbuster and hinted at upcoming projects, emphasizing his commitment to delivering exciting scripts to his audience.
