Abhay Deol seems to be much peeved as certain media channels projecting his yet-to-release DEV D with negative shades. Obviously, it's due to Anurag Kashyap's previous film 'No Smoking' witnessing disastrous results amongst critics and box offices. Anurag Kashyap has been the versatile auteur focusing on bold and rigid themes of conniving malevolent acts of terrorisms and mafias. The best illustration would be his 'Black Friday' that had some of the real facts behind Mumbai terror attacks.

Abhay is so distressed why no one wants to speak the best works of a person and always get stuck with unfortunate projects. 'As an actor, I was quite fascinated watching 'No Smoking' for its fixed motif and making style. Merely, I couldn't pick out any blunders from Anurag's directorial' says Abhay Deol who won accolades for his recent release 'Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye'.

DEV D is a finely polished version of classic tale of 'Devdas' that would be hitting screens worldwide on February 6.
