KD The Devil Box Office Collection Day 1 Early Updates: The much-hyped Kannada action drama KD The Devil has finally roared into cinemas today (April 30), riding high on massive pre-release buzz and fan anticipation. Headlined by Dhruva Sarja, the film marks one of the biggest releases of the year in the Kannada industry this year.

Even before its release, KD The Devil found itself in the spotlight due to the controversy surrounding the Hindi version of the song "Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke," featuring Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt.

Directed by Prem and produced by Venkat K. Narayana under KVN Productions, KD The Devil boasts a star-studded ensemble. Alongside Dhruva Sarja in the titular role, the cast includes Sudeepa, Sanjay Dutt, Shilpa Shetty, V. Ravichandran, Ramesh Aravind, Reeshma Nanaiah, Jisshu Sengupta, and Nora Fatehi in key roles.

KD The Devil is reportedly mounted on a big-scale budget estimated between ₹100-150 cr, as per an old Reddit thread.

As for the storyline, the film dives into a gritty, retro backdrop. According to its official synopsis on Letterboxd, "In the early 1970s, a petty criminal Kaali unwittingly involves himself with underworld thugs, catalysing events beyond his control."
