Indian cinema has been in love with Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's tragic tale of Devdas Mukherjee for quite some time now. The novel, 'Devdas', has been adapted for the big screen many times, the latest being director Sudhir Mishra's upcoming political thriller 'Daas Dev'. What sets this adaptation apart, however, is that it takes Devdas from the aristocracy of 19th century Calcutta to the power corridors of 21st century Lucknow. In a chat with us, the director talks about how this film is on a much larger scale, why he did not cast a huge star as Devdas, and what would it take for him to make a sequel to 'Hazaaron Khwahishein Aisi'.
