Devdas's Darker Side Revealed?

Devdas's Darker Side Revealed?


Director Sudhir Mishra is directing a version of Devdas, as we all know. However, the long delayed film may just be a little more delayed because of Mishra's latest obsession with Devdas's darker side.

The director is believed to have been very influenced by the film, The Dark Knight, and specially Heath Ledger's character in it. Therefore, he has now decided to rewrite his script. But the reassuring part is that the only thing that may be changed is Devdas's character. The characters of the two women in his life, Paro and Chandramukhi, to be played by Lara Dutta and Chitrangada Singh, do not reportedly change. The director is very taken with the portrayal of the Joker by the late Heath Ledger and it has inspired him to rework the character of Devdas, probably to include a darker edge to the character. Mishra is believed to be giving the script his complete attention currently. The film, which is being produced by PNC, will get off to a start early next year. The transformation in the character of Devdas will definitely be interesting to watch out for
