Both from the magnitude of the production and the intimate, interesting, intense and dramatic characters, which is inherent in the storytelling and needs to be drawn out,” said Kapur “We’re open to discussion across the board but my instinct is to get a great show-runner to start with, someone with the experience of helming a show of this scale. I want to get the right creative talent associated with the project to give it the heft it needs for a global platform.” “It should be done in the right way, I’m in no hurry to jump in. This is an important story to tell around the world,” he said. “When I read the book, I was so awestruck by the potential in the material. The show will be constructed in multiple languages, though English will also feature heavily. Speaking to Deadline from his base in Mumbai, Kapur said that the next step will be to put together a writers room, which he is envisioning as a cross-cultural group with professionals from India as well as the West. Kapur’s credits include Dangal, India’s highest grossing film of all time, the Priyanka Chopra Jonas-starrer The Sky Is Pink, and Netflix Original Yeh Ballet. Kapur is plotting a major TV adaptation of the text and is now bringing together an international creative team to begin crafting the script. The book received rave reviews including from Barack Obama, who named it among his top books of 2019.
