Shah Rukh Khan Reveals ‘Devdas’ Rights Acquisition at Locarno Screening
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan disclosed that his production company has acquired the rights to Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 2002 film 'Devdas.'
“By the time, I think Mr. Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the director, wanted to make this film, I think everybody in the country felt it’s a bit dated,” Khan recalled. He also highlighted the film’s technical achievements, noting that at one point during production, “there were no other generators left in the whole city of Mumbai” due to the lighting requirements. “Devdas” went on to receive international recognition, screening at Cannes, getting a BAFTA nomination and becoming what Khan called “a modern-day masterpiece” that exemplifies the grandeur of Indian cinema.
