Spicezee Bureau

Mumbai, Jan 08: The much hyped Abhay Deol starrer ‘Dev D’ is set for release, but not many know that the film is reportedly based on the controversial Delhi Public School`s MMS case. There are reports suggesting that the famous scandal of 2004 has been reignited in Anurag Kashyap`s upcoming flick. The official website of the movie talks about a character named Leni who is a spoilt schoolgirl. But after becoming a part of the embarrassing MMS scandal, she is abandoned by her family and is forced into isolation. During this tenure she encounters Chunni, who is a pimp. Leni is a college student by day and becomes Chanda, a high-profile escort by night. As she begins to live at her own terms and conditions, she says, "In school I was a really naughty girl. I hated all subjects except Biology, if you know what I mean. I never studied for my exams but the teachers were satisfied with my orals." However, the film’s spokesperson disagreed with what is being touted, and said that Leni`s character is not based on the DPS MMS scandal case. He also attempted to clarify that the filmmakers are not trying to highlight that embarrassing incident. Well, let’s hope that the film doesn’t try to bag in publicity with that gossip now.
