Fans of Shahid Kapoor are in for a treat as the release of his much-anticipated action-drama Deva has been moved up! Originally slated to hit cinemas on 14, February 2025, the high-octane thriller will now release two weeks earlier, on 31 January 2025.

The announcement was made via Instagram, with the filmmakers sharing their excitement:

“Sit tight, ’cause the wait just got shorter! Deva is coming your way sooner than you think—January 31st, 2025! The hype is real, the energy is through the roof, and we’re beyond excited to bring you this action-packed thriller earlier than expected! Mark your calendars and get ready for a heart-pumping experience that you won’t forget.”

 

Deva marks Shahid Kapoor’s return to the big screen after almost a year, following his performance in the unconventional romantic drama Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, where he starred opposite Kriti Sanon as a man who falls in love with a robot.

In Deva, Shahid takes on the role of a rebellious police officer tasked with investigating a high-profile case. The film promises an intense journey as his character unravels a dangerous web of lies and betrayal. Pooja Hegde stars as a journalist and the film’s leading lady, while Pavail Gulati plays a key role.

Directed by acclaimed Malayalam filmmaker Rosshan Andrrews and produced by Zee Studios and Siddharth Roy Kapur, Deva promises to be a gritty, edge-of-your-seat action drama.

 

The shift in release date has already sparked excitement among Shahid’s fans. On X (formerly Twitter), reactions poured in:

“Looks like Shahid Kapoor has been bodybuilding all this time! Can’t wait to see what he’s bringing to Deva.”

“It’s going to be a blast! Shahid is back in action, and we’re here for it.”

Shahid Kapoor has been known for his versatility, with roles ranging from romantic dramas to hard-hitting thrillers. With Deva, the actor seems to be diving headfirst into the action genre, showcasing a more intense, physically demanding side. Fans are particularly eager to see him team up with Rosshan Andrrews, whose previous works have earned critical acclaim in the Malayalam film industry.
