Richa Chadha’s DaasDev is a REVERSE take on Devdas!

Director Sudhir Mishra, who has given Indian cinema some of the most incredible and memorable films is all set to release his next directorial venture, DaasDev starring Richa Chadha as Paro, Aditi Rao Hydari as Chandni and Rahul Bhat as Dev. The film is a modern flip of the Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s classic novel, ‘DevDas’, which is set in the hinterland of modern India against the backdrop of politics.

Sudhir Mishra has previously given us path-breaking films like Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi, Yeh Saali Zindagi, Khoya Khoya Chand, and, with someone of his repute helming this flipped tale of the classic will surely be something to look forward to.

Presented by Storm pictures and produced by Saptarishi Cinevision production, DaasDev is all set to release on 16th February 2018 in theatres worldwide.

Speaking about the same, the director says, “I think it’s my right to use any work, everything is my heritage, so, I can play with it as long as I admit it. I admit that I took Devdas, I took the characters of Dev, Paro and Chandramukhi. As I was working, Shakespeare intruded and I allowed him to, so, what could I do?”

To this, he added, “Ultimately, it became a film about power as it gets into the way of love. It became a reverse journey because if DevDas is a journey from a noble person to a ‘das’, this is a journey from ‘das’, a person who is a slave to his addictions and the dynastic ambitions of his family, to Dev. It is about how he liberates himself, how he breaks free and ultimately achieves a kind of nobility which is essentially what a ‘dev’ is. Hence, Daasdev”

Well, let’s wait to find out as to how will this latest outing astonish us!
