On the occasion of Darshan Thoogudeepa’s 47th birthday, the first glimpse of the Challenging Star’s next movie titled Devil has been released, and to put it simply, it features Darshan in a brand new menacing avatar. 

The 127-second glimpse video offers a peek into the supposedly villainous role of Darshan, who refers to himself as Devil. ‘Devil’ is seen mouthing devilish dialogues, and shooting people’s heads off. But as the film’s title suggests, Devil: The Hero likely indicates that Darshan is playing some sort of anti-hero as opposed to a complete villain. 

Throughout the glimpse, the red-color theme is apparent, with the lighting, Darshan’s suit as well as his red-color tinted shades. Darshan sports a cigarette in his mouth, a glass of whisky in his hands, a fancy chain on his neck, and an eye-grabbing bracelet on his wrist, in this menacing look. Apart from Darshan’s dominating screen presence, Ajaneesh B Loknath’s killer background score added so much flavor to the already interesting glimpse.

After a streak of social dramas, masked in the form of commercial entertainers like Kranti or the recently released Kaatera, it looks like Darshan is attempting something new with Devil. Something along the lines of his 2021 released superhit film Roberrt, which although still very commercial, offered newness in some aspects.
