Abhay Deol is Bollywood’s answer to intelligent cinema and he has wowed audiences abroad with his performance and now we can’t stop raving about his intellect.
Abhay Deol spoke at the TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference on “The power of Stories” and had the audience completely engaged when he spoke about stories in India that are yet to be told.
Adds a source at TED, “Abhay Deol showed the audience a trailer of one of his films where he plays a thief who everyone can’t help, but find charming. Abhay revealed that the real thief on whom his character was based on is still in jail. Deol also went on to say he couldn’t understand why Bollywood doesn’t pursue more real stories such as this one.”
Abhay’s role in Dev D, which still has everyone talking, was based on the retelling of the classic Indian story of Devdas without pushing everything under the carpet.
Adds the source “Abhay also went on to explain that he wants to see a change in Bollywood to suit the changing mindset of the audience.”
Says Abhay; “You can be entertaining and socially conscious at the same time.”
A new wave is happening today and the unconventional Abhay Deol speaks for the thinking movie watcher.
