Sudhir Mishra is back in the Bollywood with an old tale having a new twist. Over the years, the directors have been experimenting with the epic story of Devdas. First it was Dilip Kumar, followed by Shah Rukh Khan and Abhay Deol through various movies. Now, Mishra has brought to plate a new version with the name ‘DaasDev’ with a plethora of talented stars and even filmmaker Anurag Kashyap in the lead. Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh posted the official poster of the film with the caption, “First look poster of Sudhir Mishra's #DaasDev - a modern take on Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's classic novel #Devdas... Stars Richa Chadha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Rahul Bhat, Vineet Singh, Saurabh Shukla, Vipin Sharma and Anurag Kashyap [guest appearance] … 9 March 2018 release.”

The poster indeed looks promising with lots of drama spilled over it. The film is based on ‘intoxication’. The only difference is that this intoxication is about power and not alcohol. This seriously seems like something interesting that B- town has never witnessed before.

Revealing deets about the plot of the film, the Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi maker told DNA, “Dev is a modern man trying to find his way in this mess as he is the heir to a political legacy. I think it’s very rare that a parallel can be drawn with contemporary politics. The movie is about addiction — power being the most dangerous one. Dev Chauhan, the character of my film, moves from alcohol to power and he discovers that power is a far more lethal addiction.”

Looking at his past films like Inkaar, Yeh Saali Zindagi, Chameli, Khoya Khoya Chaand to name a few, we can expect some off- beat story from the renowned director this time too.
