Sudhir Mishra's adaptation Aur Devdas is a mix of many films like Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam, Devdas and even has shades of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. It is set in contemporary times and will be refreshing approach from what people may have seen of the classic.
Richa Chaddha saw as many as eight versions of Devdas, simply to bring a difference to her portrayal and to understand the story's depth much better. Having said so, the Paro in this film will have her own style–and new ness.
Richa says, “Essaying a role of a timeless character like Paro is a great responsibility. I had only seen the two Hindi adaptations till date but when I did my homework for Sudhir sir's film I felt it was a great opportunity to study all the movies. I have done my best by adding newness to my character."
