Can Dev dance to his hit numbers?

You can get amazed seeing him fight piranhas, anacondas and crocodiles in the jungles of Amazon, but the biggest story at the moment is the amazing fun on social media that Dev’s latest release is generating. I hear 40% of the shoot was held in the jungles of Purulia, 10% in a studio and 90% of the movie has extensive computer graphics. So, do we get to see a saga of seamless blending? That’s a phrase I’m not so sure about, especially when it concerns Dev.The star would like us — and himself — to believe that he’s seamlessly blended the two entities of actor and producer in him. But then, why is our Tolly adventurer in trouble?

Not so long back, his bitter relationship with You Know Who set tongues wagging. Though the movie mogul was present at the mahurat of his next film as a producer, Kabir, he was conspicuously absent at the poster launch of Amazon Obhijaan. Now, I hear not all is well between producer Dev and the producers of his winter venture. This being the peak season for macha shows, Dev is much in demand in the city’s outskirts. Even though he is a dancer par excellence, most of the hit songs of his career — Challenge nibina sala (Challenge 2) or Khokababu (Sedin Dekha Hoyechhilo) — are owned by You Know Who. An industry insider tells me that the latter has sent a written objection against Dev’s chance pe dance to his songs. Does that leave Dev with songs from only Chaamp and Cockpit? But then, for the macha audience, one glimpse of Dev is worth a hundred songs
