Dalip Tahil to play a modern day Narad Muni in Sudhir Mishra's 'Daas Dev'
Veteran Actor #DalipTahil says that his role in forthcoming #DaasDev is like a “Modern Day Narad Muni”.
Dalip Tahil plays the role of “Sahay” in “Daas Dev” which is an upcoming modern-day political thriller adapted from timeless classic Dev Das. The film is set against the political backdrop of Uttar Pradesh.
Talking about his role during an interview, Dalip Tahil said, “I have known Sudhir Mishra for the longest time but never really worked together. He was doing the recce for the film when I met him and he offered me this role. I am playing this role of Sahay, and he is like Chunni Lal, the one from the Dev Das. The film is based on Politics; its backdrop is Uttar Pradesh politics.
Sudhir told me that he is not a politician as such, he is educated and a little different but a power broker and power manipulator. I liked the flavor and color of the character. If I have to sum up my character in one line, I’d say he is modern day Narad Muni, who is modern and manipulative. And if you put this Modern Day Narad Muni in current day UP politics that would by my character.”
Daas Dev is an adaptation of timeless romantic Dev Das, so comparisons are bound to take place, which according to Dalip is perfectly okay. “Dev Das to Daas Dev, and you are changing its graph, it is a reverse graph. So comparison will always be there and they are okay, one must compare. But I believe this movie Daas Dev, will make its niche.”

We wont't look at it as a war: Javed Akhtar on the Royalty Issue
#JavedAkhtar, Chairman of IPRS (The Indian Performing Right Society) was present at the distribution of Royalty Money to all authors and composers members like singer Shibani Kashyap, composer Lalit Pandit and many more.
While talking about the being paid their due after years of struggle lyricist and screenwriter Javed Akhtar said, "I don't want to look at it as though we have won a war, that makes it sound wrong on our part. Yes, there were struggles, the music company had a different point of view and we had a different point of you. And after discussing the matter for years government finally made a few laws that will now protect our rights.
This happened in 2012 and now after negotiating on the law with the companies, we have finally come this far in 2018. The companies on board also worked very gracefully with us. They understood that the times have changed. All the negotiations were very peaceful and mutual. We look at it as war then someone has to win and loose, and that mentality won't let us work together."
When asked if they were aware they could bring such a big change he said, "We didn't think about how big the step was or big of a change it will make we just went on doing what we thought was right. We wouldn't have been able to take that first step if we started by thinking about the end result."
When asked that the government has set some laws and the due had been paid what will happen here on out, Akhtar said, "there are still a few companies that are not a part of IPRS, which is illegal. But we don't want to go to court and fight about it. Just like with peace we spoke to other companies we will talk to them too.
