In one of the earliest posters of 'Waltair Veerayya', Megastar Chiranjeevi was seen clad in a lungi. The massy look was made intense by the fact that he was seen in the backdrop of a sea boat amid tempestuous tides.
Today's poster of Jr NTR's 'Devara' is reminiscent of that poster. Tarak is seen standing in a small boat surrounded by ferocious waters. Behind the boat are many other boats that are purportedly led by the lead man in a violent mission.
Recently, a poster of Naga Chaitanya's 'Thandel' featured the hero sitting on a boat. The film is directed by Chandoo Mondeti and features Sai Pallavi as the heroine.
The vibes generated by the posters of 'Devara' and 'Thandel' are somewhat in a similar zone. They are raw, semi-dark, and adhere to the new-age monochrome aesthetics popularized in recent times by 'KGF' and 'Salaar'. On the other hand, 'Waltair Veerayya' had a generic backdrop. The story unfolded in a variety of landscapes and it was a contemporary entertainer. 'Devara' is set in a world of its own, while 'Thandel' has Chay as a boatman.
