Desu7: A New Chapter in Dev’s Directorial Journey

Desu7 marks a special milestone, not only for the film but also for Dev, who is stepping into the director’s chair for the first time. As the film reaches its final day of shooting, a heartfelt message celebrates his journey from actor to filmmaker and expresses confidence in his vision.

A Journey That Began Around the Same Time
Dear Dev

Today is the last day of the Desu7 shoot, and I felt this was the right time to put my thoughts into words.
Both of us started our journeys more or less around the same time. Over the years, we have seen each other grow, evolve and find our own paths within the industry. But working with you on Desu7 was a completely different experience for me.

This time, I had the opportunity to witness you not just as an actor, but as a director bringing your own vision to life.

Witnessing Dev’s Vision as a Director

Being part of your directorial debut allowed me to see a completely different side of you.

Honestly, I was initially a little envious. I was genuinely surprised to see how sorted and clear you were about your vision as a director.

I remember wondering: When did he learn so much about screenplay and filmmaking while playing different characters in films? How did he manage to understand and put everything together so effortlessly?

Those thoughts stayed with me in the beginning.
But as we continued our journey with the film, that feeling gradually changed. What initially felt like surprise and envy slowly turned into admiration and inspiration.

From Envy to Inspiration

The more we progressed with Desu7, the more I understood the amount of thought and passion you were putting into the project.

Your clarity about the story, your understanding of filmmaking and your determination to bring your vision to the screen became increasingly evident throughout the shoot.

Instead of feeling envious, I found myself feeling inspired.

That, for me, has been one of the most memorable aspects of this journey.

A Proud Moment for Desu7

I am genuinely glad that I got the opportunity to share this journey with you.

Every film is a learning experience, but Desu7 has been particularly special because I got to witness your transition into a filmmaker from such close quarters.

It has been wonderful to watch your ideas take shape and see the world you envisioned gradually come alive on screen.

A New-Age Filmmaker in the Making

I wholeheartedly believe that when Desu7 releases, our industry will discover a new-age filmmaker.

I believe you have the ability to tell stories with conviction while keeping the audience entertained.

Your understanding of the medium, combined with your experience as an actor, can bring a distinctive perspective to your work as a director.

The biggest strength of any filmmaker is the ability to communicate with the audience, and I truly believe you have that instinct.

Entertaining the Mass Audience

What makes me particularly excited about Desu7 is the belief that you will continue to tell stories that connect with people while entertaining a wide audience.

Your journey as a director has only just begun, and this film could be the first step towards many more stories, ideas and cinematic experiences in the years ahead.

Best Wishes for Dev’s Directorial Future

As the Desu7 shoot comes to an end, I want to say how proud I am of you.

It has been a privilege to share this journey and witness your first experience as a director.

I wholeheartedly believe that you are going to make your mark behind the camera. This is only the beginning, and I am certain that there are many more exciting chapters waiting for you.

Proud of you, Dev. God bless you for all your future endeavours as a director. You will absolutely rock it!
