With the premiere of his latest action movie, Deva, Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor will finally return to the big screen after almost a year away. Dev Ambre, a disobedient police officer, is followed as he negotiates the intricacies of human nature in this film, which is Roshan Andrews' first Hindi-language directing effort.
The drama,
which is set against Mumbai's bustling backdrop, emphasizes the city's distinct
beauty as well as its deep undercurrents. In addition to Shahid, the film's
female lead is Pooja Hegde, and its outstanding supporting ensemble includes
Aditi Sandhya Sharma, Pavel Gulati, Pranav Ranganathan, Girish Kulkarni, and
Kubbra Sait.

| Fans have made comparisons between the two since Shahid's character Deva in Kabir Singh is frequently likened to others. "This is an aggressive character, but Deva is very much his own – there's no Kabir Singh in him," the actor clarified in a media release. Additionally, Deva is unlike any other character. People used to wonder, "Oh, is he like Tommy Singh from Udta Punjab?" before Kabir Singh. |
Lead actress Pooja Hegde, meanwhile, explained why she accepted the role: Sometimes the character is what catches your attention, and other times you want to collaborate with a director. I've selected parts that genuinely speak to me as an actor and provide me joy. "I thought Deva was a great character," she stated in a statement.

If Deva crosses the 10 crore mark on its opening day, it will be a thrilling development to watch.
Trade analysts believe that word-of-mouth will play a crucial role in determining the movie's success and driving a strong opening weekend. The film features music by Jake Bjoy and songs by Vishal Mishra. Amit Roy handled the cinematography, while A. Sreekar Prasad took care of the editing.
