Dev is doing different kinds of films, moving away from the usual song-and-dance routine for the last seven-eight years. Is ‘Tonic’ an extension of this experimentation? “I have been doing different kinds of films for the last seven-eight years. Now, if you see, it’s the age of content-oriented cinema. Superstardom has gone. You have to be a character. The character in ‘Tonic’ is very interesting. I haven’t done this kind of character before. It’s very fresh, which made me say yes. There is a certain kind of energy in the film. At the same time, there is a message in it,” he says.
