Author Amish Tripathi’s book titled the Legend of Suheldev: The King Who Saved India will soon be made into a film. Reports suggest that Amish is all set to produce the film under his banner Immortal Studios, along with Wakaoo Films and Casa Media. The film will be reportedly helmed by debutant director Senthil Kumar. However, the cast has not been finalised yet. The book is about a king hailing from Shravasti in Uttar Pradesh, who vanquished Mahmud of Ghazni’s army in Bahraich.

Said Amish, “Maharaja Suheldev is one of India’s most consequential heroes from the 11th century, who is, sadly, relatively unknown to modern Indians. This tale carries a universal message of unity cutting across class, caste and religious barriers, a message that is particularly relevant for India today. Maharaja Suheldev’s story tells us that when we Indians are united, we are unbeatable. I am delighted that my book Legend of Suheldev is being converted into a movie to reach out to an even wider audience.”
