Shahid Kapoor shot multiple climax scenes for Deva
Ahead of its release, it has been reported that multiple climax scenes were filmed to maintain suspense. A source quoted by Pinkvilla revealed, “Since Deva is a thriller about a murder that has taken place, it’s crucial to avoid leaks. To keep the curiosity intact, Rosshan, Shahid, and key stakeholders of Deva came up with the idea of shooting for three different climaxes, have three different versions on who is the killer. The actual one making it to the final cut is known to only the ones in the top tier of filmmaking.”
“Very few know what’s the reality, and which version makes it to the cinema halls on January 31. This secrecy ensures an added layer of suspense not just for audiences but for the team as well,” the source added.
