From the moment it was announced in 2021 that Malayalam director Rosshan Andrrews would be making his Hindi debut with a film starring Shahid Kapoor as a cop, there were strong speculations that it might be a remake of his own Mumbai Police. By then, Andrrews had also directed another cop thriller, Salute, featuring Dulquer Salmaan in the lead. However, while Salute garnered some positive reviews, it did not achieve the cult status of Mumbai Police, often regarded as one of Prithviraj Sukumaran's career-defining films.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯사이트Deva슬롯사이트� Trailer: Shahid Kapoor Is Deadly Cop on a Mission in This Action-Thriller Co-Starring Pooja Hegde (Watch Video).

The makers of Deva have remained tight-lipped about whether the movie is a remake of Mumbai Police. This approach is understandable, especially at a time when publicly marketed remakes are struggling to resonate with audiences - see what happened to Varun Dhawan's Baby John. Now that the trailer has been released, those familiar with Mumbai Police are drawing parallels, noting several similarities between scenes in the Deva trailer and the Malayalam original.

'Mumbai Police's Famous Twist

SPOILERS AHEAD: When Mumbai Police premiered in 2013, it became most renowned for its shocking final-act twist. Antony슬롯사이트s discovery about himself not only leaves him shattered but also sheds light on the events surrounding his best friend's death.

Interestingly, one scene in the Deva trailer hints at the possibility of this twist being retained in this dialogue delivered by Pavail Gulati슬롯사이트s character (who appears to parallel Jayasurya슬롯사이트s role in the original).
