About Deva

Talking to the press before the film’s release, Shahid addressed comparisons between Deva and his hit film Kabir Singh. He said, “It’s an aggressive character, but Deva is very Deva; there is no Kabir Singh in it. Deva is also not like any other character… Till Kabir Singh, people have asked if he is like Tommy Singh in Udta Punjab.” The film received mixed reviews, but Shahid’s performance was praised.

Deva is an adaptation of the 2013 Malayalam film Mumbai Police, also directed by Rosshan and starring Prithviraj Sukumaran. The story, particularly the climax, was tweaked to give it a new twist. In the film, Shahid plays ACP Dev Ambre, a man who loses his memory while trying to solve his best friend’s murder. Pooja plays his lover, a reporter called Diya Sathaye. Pavail Gulati and Kubbra Sait also play key roles in it.
