Shahid Kapoor's career has been a lesson in transformation, beginning as a charming romantic guy in Ishq Vishk and evolving to a massy hero with movies like Haider, Kaminey, Udta Punjab, and Kabir Singh. Now, the actor is gearing up for the release of the much-awaited, Deva.
Shahid Kapoor Clarifies 'There Is No Kabir Singh In Deva'
For the unversed, the trailer of Shahid Kapoor's movie Deva included all the tried-and-true components of a blockbuster actioner, including high-octane action scenes, his amazing dancing skills and a badass cop who solves cases without any regard for the law and order system. Netizens quickly compared Deva to his well-liked role in Kabir Singh in 2018 post the trailer release.
On Tuesday, during a press conference in Delhi, the actor responded to comparisons with his role in Kabir Singh. Jagran English questioned Shahid Kapoor if he channelled Kabir Singh's energies to prep for Deva. Setting the record straight for once, Shahid Kapoor said, "He is an aggressive character, Deva is only Deva. There is no Kabir Singh in Deva. I can say that very proudly."

He added, "Till I had not played Kabir Singh, people said 'Oh he is like Tommy Singh in Udta Punjab' or is he like Hilal in Haider, he looks crazy.' People actually compare it more to Tommy Singh because there's also this crazy guy, high on drugs, Kabir had his own issue of being high."
