Anurag Kashyap has recently given a detailed description that the film ‘How’Dev d‘Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaao Over the years, the actor-director pair has exchanged Barbes about the concept and production of the film, each appearing a creative quarrel with each that appears to be extending for more than a decade.
How ‘Dev D’ was born
Speaking at an event in Annapurna College of Film and Media in Hyderabad, Anurag Kashyap Remember the origin of the project in such a way that left very little space for ambiguity. After restrictions on his first two films, ‘Panch’ and ‘Black Friday’, Kashyap found himself at a crossroads in his career. He faced a producer who was interested in making a love story. At that moment of inspiration, Kashyap boldly announced, “I told the producer, ‘I will give you Devdas‘But I hated that book.Role of
Kashyap said that the film was not born only from its point of view. Instead, it was based on a script of Vikramaditya Motavane, who previously worked as an assistant to Sanjay Leela Bhansali on his 2002 film ‘Devdas’. Kashyap’s creative approach was to take the script of motvene and change it completely. He said, “Motwen worked on Devdas as an assistant with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, so I told him,” You customize Devdas, and I will adapt your script. ” I took his script and changed it completely, based on things that were happening at that time. ,
The beauty of adopting a famous story, as mentioned by Kashyap, lies in the contained freedom, confirms the filmmaker. Already knows about the Classic Devdas Katha with the audience, Kashyap did not feel forced to rebuild the origin of the characters from scratch. Instead, he used the known beats of the story to use and tell a different kind of story. “Finally, when the character does not have self-destruction, he is surprised,” he said. This innovation takes to a familiar story, which outlines their desire to detect subjects beyond the forecast, especially it relates to the self-reproach and emotional goods associated with it.

In this context, treatment of Kashyap’s subject of self-destruction was both intentionally and destructive. In the earlier adaptation, his despision of Devdas’s traditional depiction, when he commented, “We are the only countries who have written the biggest songs on Atma-Daya, and we celebrate Atma-Daya.” This criticism is not only the dismissal of the tradition, but is a conscious decision to reverse the story. The soundtrack of the film, including the ‘production’Emotional attiacher‘Melancholic was designed as a markest for self-rich, which became the identity of the original story.
Football match planted seeds
Interestingly, Kashyap revealed that the spark for this fundamentalist rebellion was ignited during a simple outing. While watching a football match with Vikramaditya Motwane and Abhay Deol, an accidental conversation took an unexpected turn. One of them began a discussion on a stripper called Chandramukhi in America, and it was this derogatory remark that planted seeds for modern adaptation of a classic story. This moment seems to be trivial at that time, later it will develop in a film that challenged the long -held conferences in Indian cinema.
Abhay Deol’s claims
The story of ‘Dev D’ is not without its controversies. In 2024, while marking the 15th anniversary of the film, Abhay Deol took on Instagram and reminded his followers of his claims about the concept of the film. He wrote, “Today is 15 years after Dev’s release. Kashyap’s recent detailed story can be seen as a direct response to these claims.
