Historical novel “Suheldev – The King Who Saved India,” by bestselling Indian author Amish Tripathi, who goes just by Amish as a pen name, will be adapted as a feature film.
The film, set in the 11th century, when Turkic armies led by ruler Mahmud of Ghazni repeatedly invaded northern India, will follow Suheldev, an Indian king who fought the invaders.
The book was published in June by Westland Publications and quickly joined the ranks of Amish’s bestsellers that includes the “Shiva” trilogy and the “Ram Chandra” series. The author’s eight published titles have sold 5.5 million copies so far. This will be the first film adaptation of his work.
