Actor Kubbra Sait is all set to perform intense action sequences as she has been roped in for the action thriller Deva, starring actor Shahid Kapoor.

A source exclusively tells us that Sait will play the role of a police officer in the film.

“She will be seen in an intense action role, for which she has started preparing already. The role requires her to do a lot of stunts and action sequences. She has been in training mode for over three months now,” says the source, adding, “She has joined the shoot in Mumbai and is excited to share screen space with Shahid. In fact, she is looking at the role as the start of a new phase in her life.”

The movie revolves around a rebellious police officer essayed by Kapoor, who is investigating a high-profile case. As he delves deeper into the case, he finds himself in a web of betrayal and deceit that leads him to a thrilling and dangerous path.

Not too long ago, Kapoor’s first look from the film was dropped, in which he is seen with a gun in one hand, donning a rugged look. When it comes to Sait, the source mentions that the actor “will be embracing a new look for the part”.

Deva is being directed by filmmaker Rosshan Andrrews, who has helmed a number of Malayalam films. This will be his directorial debut in Hindi cinema. The film also stars Pooja Hegde and is expected to release on Dussehra next year.
