Shahid Kapoor’s speaks on Deva, says ‘nothing like Kabir Singh’

Shahid Kapoor’s Kabir Singh, directed by Sandeep Vanga Reddy, was the Hindi remake of the 2017 Telugu film Arjun Reddy. While the adaptation received mixed to negative reviews from critics, it went on to become one of the highest-grossing Bollywood films of 2019. The film had an opening day collection of ₹20 crore net in India, according to Sacnilk.com.

Looking at the trailer, there have been talks if Shahid’s character in Deva is like Kabir Singh. However, while speaking to reporters, Shahid said that, “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’?”

However, Shahid teased a connection between “Deva” and the 1975 classic “Deewaar”, suggesting that there is a “relevance” of Amitabh Bachchan’s iconic character Vijay in his upcoming movie. He said, “This question should be for Rosshan because he was the one who chose that (visual). (But) There is a relevance (of Bachchan’s ‘Deewaar’ character) within the film.”
