However, Mishra’s film will be entirely different from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdaas and is set in the political world.

Paro plays a simple girl who evolves into a shrewd politician. Chandramukhi is not a courtesan but an investment banker.

Actor Shiney Ahuja and Lara Dutta have been finalized for the role of Devdas and Paro, but incidentally Soha has been dropped from the project because the makers want an international face to play Chandramukhi in the film.

Mishra regrets missing out the chance to work with his favourite actress Soha once again, but he looks forward to make another film with her soon.
