Abhay Deol stated, "I experimented with drugs in my teens and right up to my early twenties," he reveals in a matter-of-fact fashion. Years later, that experience was to find its way into Dev.D - Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's Devdas story reinterpreted with an edgy, cocaine-charged, contemporary twist. The idea for the film came to Deol while watching Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas. "Here was this character," he says, "who was chauvinistic, self-indulgent, obsessive - in short, someone you would absolutely not like.Yet he was sugar-coated." He wondered what Devdas would be like if viewed in the pitiless light of a gritty, modern setting. He suggested the idea to director Anurag Kashyap, who also wrote the script, and Dev.D, together with Deol's performance in it, went on to become one of the most critically acclaimed of recent times."
