After ÂHelloÂ, Â3 Idiots and the most-talked about forthcoming film Â2 StatesÂ, one can look forward to yet another bestseller coming on the big screen. A known fact these three were the adaptation of ace writer Chetan Bhagat's novels and of late reports has it that his recently released book ÂRevolution 2020 will be also turned into a movie.
UTV Motion Pictures has acquired the movie rights of Bhagat's latest bestseller ÂRevolution 2020Â. The book will be made into an epic drama with strong roles for the lead cast.
Confirming the news Siddharth Roy Kapur (CEO of UTV Motion Pictures) stated that the book is Âsimply unputdownable and he is awed by the way Chetan has written it. ÂHe has crafted such a dramatic plot with such sharply defined characters, that you're constantly wondering how things will play out. The issues he deals with in the book are those today's youth will instantly relate to and identify with. We're very excited to work with him on making a great film from what we all believe is a great book, remarked Kapur.
ÂRevolution 2020Â, ChetanÂs fifth book, was launched by Sonam Kapoor in Mumbai last month. Talks are that his earlier work, ÂThe 3 Mistakes of My LifeÂ, will also made into a film.
