Nagesh Kukunoor's Dhanak becomes a novel
Mumbai, May 18 (IBNS): Nagesh Kukunoor is known to spin emotional, heartwarming stories like no other. So it is not a surprise that his latest directorial Dhanak will now be turned into a novel.
Dhanak has already been receiving a lot of appreciation internationally.
Adding another feather to its cap, the film will now be adapted into a novel now by award-winning children’s author, Anushka Ravishankar.
One of India’s rapidly growing publishing houses, Duckbill Books will be publishing this book, which is reportedly India’s first children’s movie novelisation.
It is a delight that children's films are finally getting their due in India. And the makers of Dhanak are ecstatic that their story is the stepping stone to this great endeavour.
‘Dhanak’ has been written and directed by Nagesh Kukunoor, and stars Krrish Chhabria and Hetal Gada as the loveable siblings.
The rest of the cast includes Vipin Sharma, Rajiv Laxman, Suresh Menon and Gulfam Khan amongst others.
The film has been produced by Manish Mundra, Nagesh Kukunoor and Elahé Hiptoola. The novel is slated to hit stands on June 10, while the film is scheduled to release a week later, on June 17.
