Abhay Deol
Abhay Deol, Kalki Koechlin and Mahie Gill-starrer Dev D will be re-released in theatres on April 24. The film, directed by Anurag Kashyap, was a modern-day adaptation of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s Bengali novel Devdas. The novel has had multiple iterations, with Shah Rukh Khan’s Devdas being another popular one in mainstream Hindi cinema. Kashyap’s take on Devdas, titled Dev D, also worked well at the box office. The film was initially released in theatres in 2009 and is now set to be re-released after 17 years.
