Pooja Hegde reveals why cop movies appeals the masses
One of the most anticipated movies of the year, Shahid Kapoor starrer Deva, finally released in cinemas today on January 31. The movie revolves around the life of a fierce cop who is on a mission to eradicate bad guys. The film also stars Rosshan Andrrews, Pooja Hegde, and Pavail Gulati in prominent roles.
While the plot sounds similar to those of previous Bollywood cop movies, the film has more to offer beyond mainstream action and drama. Deva reviews on X (formerly Twitter) have been pouring in, and fans are loving it.
Now, in an interview, Pooja Hegde revealed some secrets about why cop movies attract the masses and work well at the box office. Talking to IANS, the actress opened up about the genre`s enduring appeal across all age groups.
“A good film is a good film, and you can’t keep a good film down," she said. Hegde further added that the universal fascination with cop films may stem from their mysterious nature of work.
She said, “Maybe it’s the flavour of the season, or perhaps it’s the mystery surrounding what these officers do. We’re naturally intrigued by them.”

Pooja has long been intrigued by heroes in uniform, something she thinks has to do with their enigma and undaunted aura. “There’s just something about it that’s so intriguing,” she explained, adding, “When you see someone in uniform, you’re drawn to them, almost wanting to emulate them. There’s always this air of mystery.”
Deva marks her first collaboration with Shahid Kapoor, who plays a rebellious police officer investigating a high-stakes case.
Reflecting on her career journey, she expressed gratitude for working in multiple film industries. For the uninitiated, Pooja Hegde originally started her entertainment journey with the South film industry and has received incredible recognition in Tamil and Telugu movies as well.
“It’s an honour to be appreciated in every industry I’ve worked in. I`m humbled by the love and acceptance, and it only drives me to work harder," the Deva actress added.
Deva is a remake of Rosshan Andrews` 2013 Malayalam release, Mumbai Police. It was headlined by Prithviraj Sukumaran. The Shahid Kapoor starrer released on January 31 in theatres and has been garnering positive reviews.
