Mishra, who also vocally supported Padmavati, said in a statement, "The entire team is thrilled with the news of the official release of Padmavat. We have all rooted in this decision and as a fraternity we are happy the film is coming to theatres soon. So in lieu of that and to ensure our film too receives its share, we pushed the release date to March 2. Now we are all gearing up for the new date and will put all energies towards it".

Daas Dev is a modern take on the Bengali classic novel Devdas by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay. Padmavat director Sanjay Leela Bhansali made a film on the same novel and now Mishra is giving a new take on the old story.
