Dev AnandDev Anand is living the life of Raju, the guide

He is at a stage where Bollywood's mundanities hold no value. Films are now mere vehicles of his fathomless creative energy.

Dev Anand now seems to be on the verge of merging completely with his alter-ego `Raju, the Guide', leaving behind all material considerations, immersing in what seems to be the only reason he was born.



"I am not making films for a house, for good clothing or for two meals to eat. At this stage I make films for my pleasure so that I can radiate that pleasure to the world," the octogenarian actor-producer-director said in Mumbai recently.

"My creative impulse and creative intoxication with myself and my own feeling that people like you still want to meet Dev Anand. That is the source of my energy."

What may seem to many unbridled narcissism is actually the manifestation of this man's obsession with the desert spring within himself, his curiosity for anything humane within him.

"I am in love with myself, with the God within me. One day I looked into the mirror with a hat on and said `my God, I look good'," and it became my style on the screen."

Ever clinging on to his best movie till date, the 1963 classic Guide , in which he played an adulterous, unscrupulous and yet extremely lovable guide Raju, Devsaab has no qualms admitting that he, right now, is living that movie's climaxing moments.
