Recently we published an Excerpt from the Book, CIU: Criminals in Uniform. The book is written by journalists and authors Sanjay Singh and Rakesh Trivedi.
CIU: Criminals in Uniform will be Sanjay Singh’s third book to be preferred for a Web Series adaptation. ‘Scam2003: The Telgi Story’, produced by Applause, based on his first book will be streamed on Sony LIV soon. His second book Ek thi Sheena Bora is also adapted for web series, which is in the pre-production stage now.
Bombay Stencil, the co-producers of the Amitabh Bachchan and Ajay Devgn starrer movie ‘Runway 34’ & ‘Khuda Haafiz Chapter 2’, have decided to create a web series and are in final talks with a leading OTT platform.
The producers, Mr. Hasnain Husaini and Dushyant Singh are in the process of locking in a prominent filmmaker for the series.
Dushyant Singh is also known for being part of the creative team of Barot House (2019), Parchhayee: Ghost Stories by Ruskin Bond (2019), and Abhay (2019).
Producers, Hasnain Husaini and Dushyant Singh say, “This story is filled with great suspense, full of twists and turns and a fantastic climax. The author’s rich journalistic experience has added great value. We are confident that it has the full potential of a web series adaptation. We are excited to take up this project and looking forward to creating a stunning show for an OTT platform.”
Author, Sanjay Singh, says “The Marathi & Hindi edition of CIU: Criminals in Uniform did exceptionally well among readers. Every review on social media reflected how readers savored the flavors within the book. The English version by HarperCollins has taken it to a larger readership. I am happy with this development related to the web series.”
Executive Editor, Sachin Sharma, HarperCollins India, says “For a book as gripping and entertaining as CIU, it is organic to be created into a web series. The producers have a task ahead of them in matching this brilliant book with an equally great web series.”
This story is filled with great suspense, full of twists and turns and a fantastic climax.
