Deva is a 2025 Indian Hindi-language action thriller directed by Rosshan Andrrews and produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur. Starring Shahid Kapoor, Pooja Hegde, and Pavail Gulati, the film is a remake of Andrrews' 2013 Malayalam movie Mumbai Police, featuring a modified climax.
Officially announced in May 2023, the film's principal photography commenced in October 2023 in Mumbai and concluded by September 2024. The soundtrack and background score were composed by Jakes Bejoy, with an additional song by Vishal Mishra. Amit Roy handled the cinematography, while A. Sreekar Prasad took charge of editing.
Released theatrically on 31 January 2025, Deva received mixed reviews. While Kapoor's performance, cinematography, and editing were praised, the screenplay and altered climax faced criticism.
Here's a rewritten version with a smoother flow and refined phrasing:
Development
In early August 2022, reports emerged that Rosshan Andrrews visited Shahid Kapoor at his residence to narrate a script that impressed the actor. Later, in November 2022, Andrrews confirmed via social media that he would direct Kapoor in his upcoming film. Touted as an action thriller, the project marks Andrrews' Bollywood debut and his first collaboration with Kapoor.
The film is produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur’s Roy Kapur Films and Zee Studios, with Malvika Khatri serving as co-producer. The official announcement came on 25 May 2023. Initially rumored to be titled Koi Shaq, the film's official name, Deva, was revealed on 24 October 2023, coinciding with Dussehra. Siddharth Roy Kapur secured the title from Subhash Ghai, who had previously reserved it for an Amitabh Bachchan-starrer.
Shariq Patel of Zee Studios shared that the company had been in separate discussions with both Siddharth and Shahid over the years for various projects, but none had materialized until this film, marking Zee Studios' first collaboration with both the director and actor.
Pre-Production
Pre-production began on 16 November 2022 and took several months to complete. The screenplay was penned by Bobby–Sanjay, marking their ninth collaboration with Andrrews, while Hindi dialogues were written by Sumit Arora, Hussain Dalal, and Arshad Syed. Andrrews also undertook location scouting and shared glimpses of potential shooting spots on Instagram. Kapoor described the film as an “edgy action thriller with intense action sequences.”
The music for the film is composed by Vishal Mishra, with the background score by Jakes Bejoy. The technical crew includes cinematographer Amit Roy, editor A. Sreekar Prasad, production designer Sandeep Ravade, and costume designers Niharika Jolly, Malavika Kashikar, and Chandani Mehta. Stunt direction is handled by Supreme Sundar, Abbas Ali Moghul, Anl Arasu, Parvez Shaikh, and Vikram Dahiya. In preparation for his role, Kapoor attended a rigorous physical training workshop in October 2023.
Casting
Mukesh Chhabra oversaw casting for the film. Shahid Kapoor plays the role of a police officer, sporting a short hairstyle reminiscent of his look in Haider (2014). He described his character as "intensely challenging."
In May 2023, Pooja Hegde was reported to be the female lead, a casting choice confirmed on 13 October 2023, her birthday. She plays Diya, a journalist, marking her first collaboration with both Andrrews and Kapoor.
Kubbra Sait joined the cast in early November 2023 as a fellow police officer, reuniting with Kapoor after Farzi. She underwent three months of training and attended a workshop in Mumbai to prepare for her role. Pavail Gulati was cast in late November 2023, making his action film debut. He underwent intense physical training for the role, including a special workshop in January 2024. Andrrews initially considered using a body double for Gulati’s combat sequences but ultimately had Gulati perform them himself for authenticity.
Filming
The film was primarily shot in real locations across Mumbai, with minimal use of sets. Principal photography began with a muhurat shot on 12 October 2023, with Shahid Kapoor and Pooja Hegde joining the first schedule in Mumbai. Kubbra Sait and Pavail Gulati later joined the shoot in November. The first schedule, extensively filmed in Dongri Charnul, Mumbai, wrapped on 21 December 2023.
The second schedule commenced in March 2024, with Gulati, Hegde, and Kapoor joining sequentially. Action sequences, including chase scenes and hand-to-hand combat, were filmed during this period. Kapoor shot intense action sequences in April at Dongri, while a major action sequence choreographed by Supreme Sundar was filmed in June. The final schedule began in July, with Pooja Hegde returning after completing another project. Filming concluded on 8 July 2024, except for a song sequence.
A leaked clip of Kapoor filming a song went viral online. In early September 2024, the song Bhasad Macha, featuring Kapoor and Hegde and choreographed by Bosco–Caesar, was filmed over four days in Mumbai. Principal photography wrapped on 4 September, followed by a wrap-up party in Mumbai. To maintain suspense, three different climax scenes were shot, with only one making the final cut.
Post-Production
Following the completion of filming in July 2024, the movie entered an extensive post-production phase. VFX was handled by Firefly Creative Studio, Identical Brains Studios, Old Monk Studio, and The VFX Company. Color grading was done by Ken Metzker of Red Chillies Color, with sound design by Subash Sahoo.
On 30 December 2024, the film received a U/A certificate from the Censor Board, with a final runtime of 156 minutes and 53 seconds.
Music
The film’s soundtrack is composed by Jakes Bejoy, marking his third collaboration with Andrrews and his debut in Hindi cinema. Vishal Mishra contributed an additional song, collaborating with Andrrews for the first time. Lyrics were written by Raj Shekhar, and Zee Music Company acquired the music rights.
A teaser for the track Marji Cha Maalik was released on 1 January 2025, featuring in the film’s motion poster. The first single, Bhasad Macha, was released on 11 January 2025. Following high public demand, the full version of Marji Cha Maalik was released on 24 January 2025.
