After Aishwarya Rai's interpretation of Sarat Chandra's heroine from the classic Devdas, it is now the turn of another former beauty queen to attempt the role. Lara Dutta will play Paro in Sudhir Mishra's movie Aur Devdas.
"It is a modern take on Sarat Chandra's classic - it's an adaptation," says Lara about the film. " It does have the three central characters (Devdas, Paro and Chandramukhi) but the story is set against the backdrop of a political situation in Rajasthan.
It is a bit grittier than the other Devdas adaptations. I play Paro.
" In preparation for the role, Lara has been watching the other adaptations of Devdas. "I've seen the versions by Bimal Roy and Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
But our adaptation is absolutely different," she says. Quite likely, with Sudhir Mishra at the helm.
Besides this serious role, Lara has a line-up of comedies to keep things light. She stars in Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai with Govinda and Blue with Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt.
