It’s been announced that a kissing scene between the main characters has been cut by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

As per a recent report in Bollywood Hungama, the upcoming film “Deva” has experienced three alterations.

A confidant involved in the production disclosed, “As Deva revolves around a murder mystery, it’s essential to maintain secrecy to prevent spoilers. To preserve suspense, director Rosshan Andrrews, Shahid Kapoor, and other major figures behind Deva devised an intriguing plan: filming three alternative endings, each suggesting a different culprit for the crime. The final version revealing the true killer is known only to those at the highest echelons of filmmaking.

Apart from Shahid Kapoor and Pooja Hegde, the lineup for the movie “Deva” also features Pavail Gulatie, Pravessh Rana, and Kubbra Sait.
