Actor Shahid Kapoor on Deva

Addressing a press conference, the lead star Shahid Kapoor 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 said, ‘Oh! Is he like Tommy Singh in ‘Udta Punjab’? You’ll find all the answers on January 31st. As an actor, I tend to keep my work to myself. I want everyone to sense it. All I’m doing is adding a little filler. I found playing that role to be intriguing. I’ve always made an effort to select challenging movies for my filmography. My second goal is to use my films to reach a wider audience. It can be challenging to locate both of these elements in a single movie at times.”   ALSO READ: Sky Force box office collection day 6: Akshay's movie crosses 75 cr mark
 
The actor added, “Some are commercial, some are performance-oriented, but there are films that offer both, and Deva has these factors. The action, the songs, and the characters are all quite daring in this hefty movie. The film’s treatment is commercial, forward-thinking, and contemporary. I spent a year with Deva, and he is a unique individual. I committed to the role, and I collaborated extensively with the director to develop the picture before production. We developed the entire concept for a year. Deva contains a lot of me as an actor".
