Abhinay Deo’s career defies stereotyping.
Abhinay is the younger son of the late actor couple Seema and Ramesh Deo. Despite coming from a film family he spent over a decade in advertising before taking the plunge into cinema.
Right from his debut in 2011, his approach to filmmaking was visible in two diverse films: The frisky comedy Delhi Belly and the slick suspense thriller Game.
His credits include the Anil Kapoor television series 24, the Hindi remake of Kiefer Sutherland’s drama, and the 2018 dark comedy Blackmail, featuring Irrfan Khan.
Abhinay reunites with Anil Kapoor in his new film Savi, which stars Divya Khossla in the titular role.
“As a director, I want to tell all kinds of stories -- comedy, thriller, murder mystery, horror. I give my thousand percent to each and every story I tell,”
Savi is an official remake of The Next Three Days. What enticed you about the American thriller for its Indian adaptation?
I loved that it was a film about a very simple family and very simple people. Simple people who then end up doing very extraordinary things, and all that for love. There’s a very large difference between what the original screenplay was and what ours is. Ours is adapted to the Indian psyche. We have also reversed the character, which is, there it was a male-centric film, here it is a completely woman-centric film.
This actually is a story of Savitri and Satyavan which we tried to give it a new form. Savi is an ordinary woman who has simple aspirations in life, who loves her husband and her kid. When her life is completely destroyed because of one particular incident, she is not going to take that as in her fate. She fights fate and shocks herself with what she does after that.
So yes, it’s a story about a woman finding her own strength.
