Shahid Kapoor and Pooja Hegde are gearing up for the release of their action thriller Deva, and their off-screen camaraderie is just as exciting as their on-screen chemistry. In a recent conversation with Hindustan Times, they shared fun anecdotes about their experience working together.
One of the highlights of their conversation was Pooja Hegde’s revelation about a 40-minute car ride with Shahid that turned into an unexpected therapy session. Recalling their chat, Pooja said, “I swear I told him this was a great therapy session. Shahid makes the greatest therapist. We had a heart-to-heart about life, films, and the kind of work we want to do as actors. At the end of it, I even joked, ‘Please don’t send me the bill, don’t charge me by the hour.’”

Shahid, known for his quick wit, chimed in with a playful response. He revealed, “For all the filmmakers out there, Pooja wants to do an ‘acting waali film’ (a performance-driven film). She spent 40 minutes telling me this, so please, someone, make it happen for her!” Pooja laughed and added, “Please listen to him! Shahid Kapoor is saying this—one of the greatest actors we have.”
Directed by Rosshan Andrrews, Deva features Shahid Kapoor as a fierce cop on a revenge mission, while Pooja Hegde plays an investigative journalist. The film is set to hit theatres on January 31, 2025
