However, it\u2019s his ability to portray unhinged characters with remarkable versatility, as seen in films like\u00a0<em>Haider<\/em>\u00a0(2014) and\u00a0<em>Udta Punjab<\/em>\u00a0(2016), that truly captivates fans. Expectations were similarly high for his recent release,\u00a0<em>Deva<\/em>, which hit theaters this January. Featuring Shahid as a tainted cop and\u00a0<strong>Pooja Hegde<\/strong>\u00a0as a journalist, the film unfortunately did not make a significant impact at the box office and was released on digital platforms within two months.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"AnswerParser_AnswerParserSharedStyles__0GZUj\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"AnswerParser_TextContainer__z_Iiv\" data-testid=\"youchat-text\">Despite its lackluster performance, fans have expressed their admiration for Shahid\u2019s outstanding portrayal in\u00a0<em>Deva<\/em>, and many are now urging Bollywood superstar\u00a0<strong>Salman Khan<\/strong>\u00a0to take note of the film\u2019s compelling storytelling and strong execution.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"AnswerParser_AnswerParserSharedStyles__0GZUj\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p><span class=\"AnswerParser_TextContainer__z_Iiv\" data-testid=\"youchat-text\">Indeed, you read that correctly.
