Shahid Kapoor treated his fans to a brand new poster from his upcoming film Deva on New Year's Day. Shahid shared the poster on his Instagram feed. In the poster, Shahid Kapoor looks raw, fierce and deadly. Smoking a cigarette, Shahid Kapoor's look will make you remember his characters from Kabir Singh and Udta Punjab.
The poster has more in store than what meets the eye. In the background of Shahid Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan's cult pose from Yash Chopra's Deewar is peeping out, leaving fans intrigued and invested. Deva, an action drama, will be releasing in theatres on January 31.
Sharing the poster, Shahid Kapoor wrote, "Lock n' Load." Fans showered a whole lot love in the comments section.
A user wrote, "This poster has me SHOOK! If this is the first look, I can't even imagine the movie!!" Another user wrote, "BAAP RE. LAY BHARI!!!! Another comment read, "Every time Shahid drops a poster, my heart skips a beat! Can't wait for Deva!" Take a look:
Backed by Zee Studios and Roy Kapur Films, Shahid will play a rebellious police officer in Deva. Pooja Hegde will play the role of a journalist. The film also features Kubbra Sait and Pavail Gulati in pivotal roles. Directed by Rosshan Andrrews, Deva was initially slated for release on February 14, 2024. However, the release date has been preponed to January now.
Last year, Shahid Kapoor hinted that his character in Deva was "dark and menacing". He uploaded a post-workout black and white selfie on his Instagram Stories. The actor let his biceps do the talking in the image.
Shahid Kapoor was last seen in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya opposite Kriti Sanon.
