“Scripting Is Most Interesting Process For Me”: Sudhir Mishra

Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra says the process of writing a script is most enjoyable for him as it helps him discover many things about himself.

At the trailer launch of his forthcoming directorial Daas Dev here on Wednesday, Mishra was asked if he felt any difficulty in twisting the story from the original novel Devdas by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhaya for his movie.

He said: “No, not really. Scripting a film is never tough. In fact, it is the most interesting process for me. While writing a script, I discover many things about myself. At times, it is scary also. But overall, it is interesting.”

Sudhir Mishra says he does not want people to misunderstand his forthcoming film Daas Dev as a political drama. “We didn’t want people to misunderstand Daas Dev as a political drama. Politics is the conflict in the love story and music is an integral part of the film.”

The trailer launch saw many well-known filmmakers like Nikkhil Advani, Vijay Krishna Acharya, Ketan Mehta, Rahul Rawail, Abhishek Kapoor, Prakash Jha and Vishal Bhardwaj in presence.

The film’s actors Richa Chadha, Aditi Rao Hydari and Rahul Bhat too were present to promote the movie, which is releasing on March 23. Sudhir Mishra says he does not want people to misunderstand his forthcoming film Daas Dev as a political drama.
