Abhinay Deo on Divya Khosla-starrer ‘Savi’: ‘The biggest challenge was making the mythology relevant for the modern era’

Abhinay Deo said, “In a way, the story of Sati Savitri is something I have heard since my childhood and it is ingrained in my system. When I tried to give it a modern twist, the biggest challenge was how to make the myth relevant to the modern times. That’s why the story worked here. It had to be simplified. What did this strong woman do? She duels with Yamraj to get her husband back. We have done that in the film. This is very much our film. The system is Yamraj. The British system is much stricter. The British prison system is much tougher. The difficulties in Sati Savitri are much more severe. The story is simple.”

Directed by Abhinay Deo, Savi is produced by Mukesh Bhatt, Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar under Vishesh Films and T-Series. Shiv Chanana and Sakshi Bhatt are co-producers. The film is scheduled to release in theatres near you on May 31, 2024.
