Another version of ‘Devdas’ is on the way. To be directed by Sudhir Mishra and belonging to the ever-rising production house Pritish Nandy Communications, this ‘Devdas’ will have Shiney Ahuja as the lead hero and Lara Dutta as ‘Paro’.
However, the story doing rounds of Esha Deol playing ‘Chandramukhi’ is baseless as told by Pritish himself. “It’s true that Shiney Ahuja and Lara Dutta have been confirmed for the roles of Devdas and Paro. But we’re yet to cast Chandramukhi. The reports of Esha Deol being signed for the part are completely untrue.”
For the immortal role of courtesan ‘Chnadramukhi’ director Sudhir Mishra says, “I’m very keen on Soha Ali Khan. My Chandramukhi isn’t a dancer at all. She plays an investment banker. Having said that, let me tell you Soha is good dancer. Watch her in my Khoya Khoya Chand and you’ll know.”
