Abhay wanted to change this through Dev D

Abhay Deol’s film Dev D was released in the year 2009. The film was directed by Anurag Kashyap. Now this was the film which was told ahead of time. In this film, an attempt was made to empower women as well. Now Abhay Deol has also told about this through a long post. He has tried to explain how his film Dev D was different. Abhay writes- I told the idea of ​​Dev D to many people. Later Anurag Kashyap directed the film. When I used to tell people the story of this film, they say that it is very dork, art is like a film. I was happy that this film was directed by Anurag.

Abhay told that he had read the book Devdas of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay. He believed that the way the characters were shown in the film, they wanted to change it. He did not want the girl to study in someone’s love. He wanted to break the image of a good religious woman. According to Abhay, Paro explains the mistakes of Dev in the film too.

“Dev.D” released in 2009. I spent a year narrating the idea to several people before I got Anurag on board to direct it. I remember people’s reaction upon hearing my narration, it was always, “it’s too much of an art-film”. Lucky for me Anurag got it. I had read the book and I could see that the character was a chauvinist, a misogynist, entitled, and arrogant. Yet he had been romanticized for decades! The women on the other hand were strong and had integrity, but there was still that expectation for them to love their man no matter what. I wanted to change that. I wanted to empower them, shed the image of the “good, devoted, woman”. It was time to make them independent, not defined by the man they love, or by men in general. Which is why Paro calls out Dev’s faults and puts him in his place. In my version Dev gets shot by the police (he becomes a drug dealer) outside Paro’s house and dies just like in the book. Chanda does not fall in love with him, and neither is she ashamed of being an East European high class escort (again, in my version ?). She’s the strongest character of the 3, and isn’t afraid of being judged. She does empathize with Dev, seeing how broken he is, and I went with the “prostitute with the heart of gold” theme from the book. Anurag felt a happy ending would make the film more accepted by the audience, and his twist was to have Dev & Chanda fall in love. My vision was too dark! I went with the flow, and even brought my buddies @twilightplayers to feature in it. The rest is history. #makingwhatbollywouldnt

Life will not be revealed again

A few days ago, Abhay made a big disclosure about his film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. He had said- I would like to mention that all the award shows had demoted me and Farhan from the main character. And we were nominated as supporting actors. While Hrithik and Katrina were nominated for the leading role. According to the industry, it was a love story of a boy and girl, in which the boy’s friends helped him. I rebelled against this, but Farhan had no problem with it.
