Director Sudhir Mishra says fans expecting to see another version of Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay's 1917 classic "Devdas" will be disappointed with his film "Daas Dev", which is a completely different take on the story and deals with the addiction of power. While the director, best known for his 2005 cult classic "Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi", "Dharavi", "Is Raat Ki Subah Nahin" and "Chameli", acknowledged Chattopadhyay's book as an inspiration, he said he has reversed the story. The film also carries some Shakespearean elements. "I am not making 'Devdas'. My film is not based on Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay's novel. I apologise to him for reversing the story. If you want to see his version then don't come and see it. I am acknowledging the inspiration. "(But) This is a different story. The film is about addiction of power and through that there is Dev, Paro and Chandni. Pressure is always there when you make a film. We all have worked very hard on it,"
