The action-packed trailer was released on Friday afternoon and stars and in the lead roles. Pooja will be seen in a Hindi movie after almost two years, after Salman Khan’s Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. While Kapoor has left a great impression as a rowdy cop, Hegde has got the audience excited with her role as an investigative journalist. The trailer launch was held in Mumbai, where both stars answered several questions asked by the media. We wondered if Pooja’s response about ‘alpha-male’ movies was a jab at Ranbir Kapoor’s 2023 blockbuster movie.

As we know, Ranbir Kapoor’s was THE most discussed movie of 2024. It received extreme reactions, as some loved it and some hated it. The ones who didn’t like the Sandeep Reddy Vanga-directed film found it’misogynistic’ and story dominated by ‘alpha male’ characters. During the Deva trailer event, Pooja Hedge opened up about her character and poked fun at the alpha males, which some may interpret as a dig at film.

About her character in Deva, Pooja Hegde said, “Diya is the perfect ‘takkar’ to Dev’s character. You guys have seen alpha male many times, but now I think it’s time to see alpha female. Because she’s not afraid to speak her mind, she’s not afraid to say what she’s feeling. The article that he’s being questioned about. The line that says ‘police ya mafia’ is written by Diya because she is the journalist investigating this.”

Meanwhile, Deva, directed by Rosshan Andrrews, also stars Kubbra Sait and Pavail Gulati in pivotal roles. The action-drama is all set to hit theatres on January 31, 2025. On the other hand, Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal already has a sequel confirmed titled Animal Park. Earlier, Ranbir revealed that the film will go on floors in 2027.
