In the film, the journey of the protagonist Dev goes on a reverse gear from the original Devdas. Earlier talking about Daas Dev Saurabh said, "It is the journey of Dev, who is a 'das' or slave of power, money, addiction and in the journey, how he breaks himself from all these and become free, becomes a Dev or a good person.’’
"This is just the opposite story of 'Devdas', who was a good man, and slowly in a different situation, he became a 'das' of his addiction," explained the actor.
Talking about his character Saurabh said, ‘’The character that I am playing in the film is actually inspired from one of the characters from 'Hamlet'."
Meanwhile, shedding light on her character named Paro, Richa said, ‘’As an actor, I work hard to get into the skin of every character I play. Paro resonates with me personally and I find many of her traits true to mine. An interesting challenge was learning and absorbing how to play a woman politician and to this end, I did a fair amount of research," Richa said in a statement.‘’
The film combines elements from two classics Devdas and Hamlet.
