Before run:

$ ls -l shfmt.test*|sed -E 's#(dkrishnamurthy)|(staff)#dev#g'
-rw-r--r-- 1 dev dev 50 Jan 28 06:43 shfmt.test
lrwxr-xr-x 1 dev dev 10 Jan 28 06:14 shfmt.test.ln -> shfmt.test

Note: shfmt.test.ln is a symlink

After running shfmt -w shfmt.test.ln:

$ ls -l shfmt.test*|sed -E 's#(dkrishnamurthy)|(staff)#dev#g'
-rw-r--r-- 1 dev dev 50 Jan 28 06:43 shfmt.test
-rwxr-xr-x 1 dev dev 47 Jan 28 06:43 shfmt.test.ln*

Note: shfmt.test.ln is a formatted regular file
