Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor, who last delivered a hit in the form of the 2024 Hindi movie ‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’, is now gearing up for the release of ‘Deva’. Ahead of its release, Shahid Kapoor has been extensively promoting the film. Recently, Shahid engaged in a candid Q&A session on X (formerly Twitter). The actor, who plays a rebellious cop in the film, not only teased intriguing details about ‘Deva’ but also confirmed a reunion with ace filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj.

The Q&A session saw Shahid Kapoor dropping some major revelations, from his favourite cop film to naming his favourite contemporary actors.

A fan asked Shahid to name his favourite contemporary actors, to which he responded, “I love Hrithik and Ranbir.”

 

Interestingly, both Shahid and Ranbir have headlined blockbuster films, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga – Shahid in ‘Kabir Singh’ and Ranbir in ‘Animal’, projects that significantly shaped their careers.

The possibility of a crossover between ‘Kabir Singh’ and ‘Animal’ has been a hot topic among fans. In a previous interview with Bollywood Bubble, Shahid addressed the speculation about his character, Kabir, and Ranbir’s Ranvijay from ‘Animal’, coming together for ‘Animal Park’.

While he acknowledged the excitement around the idea, he dismissed the possibility, stating, “The ball is not in my court, and it’s not so easy because I think the universes are quite different.”

Coming back to Shahid’s Q&A session, a fan also asked if the star has shot three climaxes for ‘Deva’. Shahid chose not to answer directly, replying, “Kal pata chalega”. However, in response to another fan, he admitted that he was shocked after reading the post-climax of the film, calling it “very fresh.” He wrote, “Was shocked post climax. Found it very fresh.”

During his interaction, Shahid also announced his next project with filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj, marking their reunion. The duo has previously collaborated on critically acclaimed films like ‘Haider’, ‘Kaminey’, and ‘Rangoon’.

Shahid Kapoor also revealed his favourite cop film, naming Amitabh Bachchan’s cult classic ‘Zanjeer’. The 1973 film turned Amitabh into the ‘Angry Young Man’ of Bollywood.

 

Speaking about ‘Deva’, which also stars Pooja Hegde, the film was earlier slated to release in cinemas on October 11, 2024. However, it was postponed to January 31. ‘Deva’ is bankrolled by Zee Studios and Roy Kapur Films.

As per the makers of ‘Deva’, the film will delve into the world of a rebellious police officer and how he embarks on a high-profile case.
