Film-maker Anurag Kashyap is busy these days giving final touches to his latest venture 8216;Dev D8217; which is he feels is 8220;very contemporary version of Devdas.8221;
Very few novels have created the kind of curiosity among film-makers like Sarat Chandra8217;s novel 8216;Devdas8217;. The bitter-sweet love-saga has become a history with the story of Devdas being depicted on the celluloid umpteen number of times.
However, this is perhaps the first time that any film-maker has attempted to make a film on modern version of 8216;Devdas8217;.
Kashayap feels that Devdas has now gone way beyond than just being a novel. 8220;Devdas is not just a novel anymore, it is an adjective, Devdas is almost synonymous with love. It8217;s a complete modern take on the book8221; says the film-maker.
Kashyap insists that the youth will be able to identify with the modern 8216;Dev8217; as it is an all-out commercial venture.
8220;8216;Dev D8217; is a youth centric film, a complete commercial venture. It has been shot in a whole lot of places Manali, Chandigarh, New Delhi and London,8221; quips the film maker who is trying hard to shed his art-film-maker image. The film which will be released in February has been shot in Central Delhi.
