There have been few Bollywood movies that always make a lot of headlines because of their theme, story and direction. One of them was the 2009 film Dev D. Dev D was directed by Anurag Kashyap. The film featured actors Abhay Deol, Kalki Kekalaan and Mahi Gill in the lead roles. The film made a lot of headlines when it was released in theaters. Now after 11 years of the film, Abhay Deol has revealed the role of Dev D.
Abhay Deol is very active on social media. He has shared the poster of the film Dev D on his official Instagram account. Along with the poster, he has also told about the characters of this film. Abhay Deol wrote in his post, 'Dev D was released in 2009. Before Anurag Kashyap, I talked to many people about this film. When I used to tell the story of this film to people, he used to call it quite an art film. I was lucky to get Anurag Kashyap '.
Abhay Deol further wrote in the post, 'When I read the book and learned about my character how chaotic, misanthropic, entitled and arrogant he was. Yet he was romantic for decades! At the same time, the female characters were strong and honest, yet they were expected to love their husband, whatever they may be. That I wanted to change. I wanted to empower them. I wanted to 'break the image of a good, devoted, woman'.
In his post, Abhay Deol also kept an eye on Anurag Kashyap associated with the film. He told how he wanted to show the characters in the film. Abhay wrote, 'In my version the police shoot Dev, that too outside Paro's house. As it was written in the book. On the other hand, Chanda also does not love her nor does she have problems with the East European high class escort. He was the strongest character among the three, but Anurag wanted the film Happy Ending. So that more and more viewers like the film.
