What makes the poster even more striking is its nostalgic nod to Amitabh Bachchan. A subtle background image of the veteran superstar from the 70s adds depth and gravitas to the visual, creating a unique blend of old-school charm and modern intensity.
About The Film
Directed by renowned Malayalam filmmaker Rosshan Andrrews, Deva also stars Pooja Hegde and Pavail Gulati. Pavail reportedly plays another cop in the film, which adds an intriguing dynamic to the story. The project is backed by Zee Studios and Roy Kapur Films, promising a high-quality production.
Shahid’s portrayal of a cop promises to be powerful and layered, with fans eagerly awaiting his performance. Earlier this year at the IIFA green carpet, Shahid teased the audience about the film. He described it as an action-packed thriller that keeps viewers guessing until the end. “It’s an extremely aggressive character that I’m playing. It’s a very alive film; it should jump out and make you feel its energy,” he shared.
Deva is set to hit cinemas on January 31, 2025.
