About Deva

Deva is a remake of Rosshan’s 2013 Malayalam film Mumbai Police, which had Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead role. The director tweaked the film’s story, altering a key point in the climax. 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.

Though Shahid’s performance has been praised, the film received mixed reviews from critics and the audience. Speaking to the press before the film’s release, the actor spoke about comparisons between Deva and Kabir Singh, “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 said, is he like Tommy Singh in Udta Punjab?”
