Dev D trio is back again!

The winning trio behind the ultra stylised Dev. D returns to the big screen once again to recreate the magic with Udaan.
We are talking about Anurag Kashyap, debutant director Vikramaditya Motwane and music director Amit Trivedi who have returned with a film about a young boy trying to achieve his goals. Presented by UTV Motion Pictures, Sanjay Singh and Anurag Kashyap Production’s Udaan will release on July 16.But before that, the audience can get a peek into what’s in store for them when the promos hit the air today.
While Anurag produced the film, this time around he handed the director’s baton to Vikramaditya, who had co-written Dev. D with him. Says Vikram, “Being a director, Anurag knows the kind of freedom that a director needs and he gave me that. Also I have known him for many years and am extremely comfortable working with him.” Amit Trivedi whose songs in Dev D rocked the music charts is also back with another great score here. Amit terms Anurag as his mentor. “I am here today because of him. He sent over the script of Udaan and I wanted to do it as soon as I read it. And it was easy to work with Vikram because he knew the kind of sound he wanted for the movie.”
For Anurag working with Vikram and Amit is a joyride. “Vikram is someone who should have made a film before me. I had decided long back that the moment I am in a position to produce a film it will have Vikram as the director,” says Anurag. Speaking about Amit, he says, “Amit has scored some great numbers and he doesn’t have to prove himself to anyone. Be it him or Vikram, I gave them the freedom that I would want while making a film.”
The movie is about Rohan, who after living in a boarding school for eight years, returns to Jamshedpur and finds himself closeted with an authoritarian father and a younger half brother who he didn’t even know existed. Rohan is forced to work in his father’s steel factory and study engineering against his wishes, but he tries to pursue his dream of becoming a writer. The movie, all set for its release in India, has already tasted success at various film festivals including Cannes, where it was the first movie to be invited in seven years. So how’s Vikram dealing with the pre-release anxiety? “I am nervous, excited and I don’t want to think about it,” says the debutant director.
