It seems the climax of Deva is top-secret. The filmmaker ensured that the end was kept as a complete mystery to everyone. Believe it or not, but actors Shahid Kapoor, Pooja Hegde, Kubbra Sait, and Pavail Gulati did not know how the movie would end. An insider informed that no actor got a script that had the climax written in it. The source said, “The scripts shared with Shahid, Pooja, Kubbra, Pavail, and others didn’t have the climax scene written. The director wanted to create the same sense of intrigue and anticipation among the cast that the audience will feel when the film releases.”
