The rise of streaming services has created a boom market for books with global appeal, and a remarkable 20 bids hit the table for Deepti Kapoor‘s India mob saga The Age of Vice. FX, Fox 21 TV Studios, along with Color Force’s Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson, won the deal.
Kapoor is set to become a major author as she plans two more books on this saga and will also write the series which will be shot in English and Hindi. Kapoor finished the 700-page first installment just in time for the Frankfurt Book Fair, and buyers found it a ripping read.
The stgory is set in New Delhi, focusing around a wealthy, powerful, and corrupt family entangled in the web of constant grabs for more power, land, and wealth.
