In Deva, Shahid Kapoor plays a cop who wants ‘full freedom’. The trailer for the film hit the screens on Friday, adding to the anticipation surrounding its release.
The makers of Deva released the film’s trailer on Friday at a grand event in Mumbai. The titular role, Starring Shahid Kapoor, brings the actor back into his action-thriller genre, similar to Kaminey (2009). Except this time, he is not a criminal but a cop.
The trailer features Shahid’s Deva looking extremely fearsome, with one motto in life: absolute freedom. The video opens with Deva narrating how it all started. The audience is told how Deva lost his brother to the ‘ system’ when someone shot him dead during a function in their childhood. As the trailer progresses, we see Deva doing his own thing, killing people in the name of justice and operating in full rebel mode.
A scene in the video features Deva’s senior telling him about an article and asking if he is a ‘policeman or a mafia’. In the next scene, we see Deva telling a goon, ‘I am… mafia,’ in a very I-am-one-and-only-hero-of-this-world fashion.
The story of the film seems to be set in Mumbai. Deva also features Pooja Hegde, opposite Shahid, and actor Pavail Gulati, playing a cop. Malayalam filmmaker Rosshan Andrrews directs it. The film is slated to hit the screens on January 31.
