Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s novel, Devdas has captured the imagination of filmmakers in the past and continues to do so even today. Set in contemporary times, filmmaker Sudhir Mishra’s Daas Dev borrows not just from this novel but also from William Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet, to tell a story that essentially tries to capture the dynamics of dynastic politics in India. In this retelling of the classic novel, Dev (Rahul Bhat) is a reluctant political heir who loves Paro (Richa Chaddha) immensely, but falls prey to the machinations of his uncle Avdhesh (Saurabh Shukla). Paro, doesn’t allow her love for Dev to blind her, she places her pride above all else and in the process locks horns with her beloved in the political circuit. Meanwhile, Chandni (Aditi Rao Hydari), ‘the other’ woman is a fixer who does the dirty job for politicians and is inexplicably drawn to Dev.

King Khan aka Shah Rukh Khan is never off the headlines. However, apart from his much-awaited film ‘Zero’, what has kept him the limelight is his legal matter on one of his properties. As per reports, the difficulties for him prevail as the Income Tax Department continues to probe into his Alibaug property matter.

Reportedly, the ‘Raees’ actor can’t take a sigh of relief till December 2018 from the Income Tax department which is currently investigating the case.

The ‘Zero’ actor has been accused of buying the Alibaug property under the false pretense of using it for agricultural purposes and has instead built a farmhouse on the land. Reportedly, the land is owned in the name of Deja vu Farms Pvt Ltd., which was acquired under Section 63 of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948 (which stipulates that only a farmer can buy agricultural land).

Apparently, as per reports it has been utilized for the luxurious purpose. Therefore, the property dispute has reached a point of hearing to New Delhi.
