Director Anurag Kashyap is currently languishing in hospital after suffering from a severe throat infection. The director who has been in and out of the country shooting for Dev D, came back to India just a few days ago.

The shooting for the film took place in Delhi, Manali, Chandigarh, London and Canada. It was a tight schedule and Kashyap was keen to wrap up everything on time. Working overtime to finish his work, the director neglected his health and paid for it the moment he came back to India. Dev D is Kashyap's modern day take on Sarat Chandra's classic novel Devdas. The novel has already been translated onto screen three times, the most recent being Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas with Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai and Madhuri Dixit in the lead. The character of Devdas is being played by Abhay Deol in Kashyap's film. Kashyap's last film, 'The Return Of Hanuman' and 'No Smoking' went down with a whimper at the box office. It remains to be seen if he can turn things around with Dev D.
