While the master of political dramas Prakash Jha is all set to mix the Mahaharat with politics of the Gandhi family the enterprising director of that wonderful parable on the perils of the Emergency Hazaaron Khwahisein Aisi Sudhir Mishra is thinking on much the same politics-into-creativity lines for his version of Devdas which starts shooting in August.

Says Sudhir, "It's more like Shakespeare's Hamlet as applied to the politics of India."

The film will have Devdas and Paro as political adversaries fighting one another beyond the boundaries of a lovw story gone awry. Interestingly enough Sudhir will shoot his Devdas in the deserts of Rajasthan.

"I want those vast stretches of sand for dramatic emphasis."

The truth is never far away from Sudhir Mishra's cinema. He now wants to make a new genre of cinema, what he calls a mock-u-mentary.

"It'd be shot in the documentary style. The events would all be dramatic recreations of real incidents. I'm planning to apply this format to my film on the life of doctor-activist Binayak Sen the child specialist in Chattisgarh who has been accused of sedition and jailed.

For it's interesting to film the lives of real characters who are caught in a moral crisis not of their making. In that sense the life of Binayak Sen is no different from that of Hamlet or Devdas."
