It all happened after the actor's recent visit to the capital. He quizzed people about their intention behind watching Ramleela during Dusshera time.
"Everyone unanimously said, devotion. And I felt that even if there is humour in the festival, it should be due to emotion and overwhelming feeling of being there in Ramleela, instead of there being a fun element in the festivities itself," Annu said in a statement.
"I reworked the scenes to make them serious in terms of devotion. The underlying humour is there in the way the characters get emotional," added the National Award-winning actor who will be seen playing lead role in "Muavza".
The film is being produced by Jagdish P. Gupta and directed by Girish Juneja.
