| Meet B'towns new Devdas - Shiney Ahuja By Subhash K Jha, 4 May, 2009 |
 After his much-cherished dream to remake Devdas with Sudhir Mishra, featuring Shiney Ahuja in the eponymous role, fell through Pritish Nandy has not been lying low with his dream project. He put together his own comprehensive interpretation of Devdas and, according to plans, Meghna Gulzar will be directing Nandy's version of Devdas.Pritish confirmed and said, "I think Meghna will capture the subtle nuances very well that will make a film for today's audience. Austerity will be the hallmark of our Devdas. The original story by Saratchandra Chatterjee is barely a couple of pages long." It may be recalled that Meghna's father, Gulzar, had started his own version of Devdas many decades ago, featuring Dharmendra, Hema Malini and Sharmila Tagore. However, the film was shelved. In his version, Pritish plans to do away with the celebrated Devdas-dies-at-Paro's-doorstep finale. He quips, "My Devdas will be a spunky tale of love and loss like Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet. I'd hate the sloppy sentimental self-destructive ending. My Devdas will not be morbid, self-pitying, dreary or vulgarly ostentatious." |
