The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) awarded Shahid Kapoor-starrer 'Deva' a U/A certificate but requested three modifications, Bollywood Hungama reported. A six-second cut was made to a kissing sequence, a specific visual was "suitably modified" for general viewing, and instances of strong language were replaced with milder alternatives. The film also stars Pooja Hegde and Pavail Gulati.
