Abhay Deol starrer Dev D have completed 15 years from its release today. Marking the same, the actor took to his Instagram handle and went on to share a post along with the caption recalling the portrayal of his character.
The post read, “It's 15 years today since the release of Dev.D.I
still remember pitching the idea of a contemporary, musical version of Devdas to Anurag, at the juhu Marriott. The shock and excitement on his face is etched in my memory.
My ending was different from what he made though, I had Dev get shot by the cops outside Paro's house because by the end of the film he's a drug dealer. But the happy ending gave my character redemption, and it clearly worked. I still wonder where we would be had we killed him off. Dev the drug dealer, the original chauvinist, he was always far beyond redemption for me from the start lol! Either way, I have never pitched another idea to anyone in the industry since then. Maybe I should start focusing on development once
again )?”
Directed by Anurag Kashyap, Dev D released in 2009. It also featured Kalki Koechlin and Mahie Gill alongside the actor.
Meanwhile Abhay is all set for his upcoming film Bun Tikki in which he will feature alongside Shabana Azmi and Zeenat Aman.
