 Production banner Abundantia Entertainment have acquired the rights of journalist, Pavan C. Lall’s book based on scam-accused Nirav Modi titled ‘Flawed: The Rise and Fall of India’s Diamond Mogul Nirav Modi’ will be adapted into a dramatised, multi-season series for streaming.

Scripting is presently underway. The book, “Flawed: The Rise and Fall of India’s Diamond Mogul Nirav Modi” depicts the story of high-profile tycoon Nirav Modi, one of the biggest diamond merchants in India.

It is based on personal encounters, interviews, and research conducted by the author, investigative journalist, Pavan C. Lall, who will also serve as a consultant writer for the series adaptation.

Author Pavan C. Lall said: “It is an extremely exciting opportunity, and I am thrilled to be a part of this book-to-screen adaptation journey.”

The book narrates detailed and fascinating aspects of Nirav Modi’s rise to power and his subsequent fall, unravelling the persona of the man behind one of the biggest financial scandals in India that amounted to around Rs 13,500 crore-worth of illegal transaction leaving the PNB account holders at severe dismay.

Lall added: “Capturing the sensibility of a book in a cinematic way is not a simple task but I have full faith in Abundantia Entertainment and believe that they will do complete justice to this endeavour and give ‘Flawed’ the appropriate visual mounting.”

The author also shared that the book is his effort to bring to the audience “the tale of a larger-than-life entrepreneur — his spectacular rise and equally dramatic fall which brought an entire industry to its knees”.

Published

on

The makers of Dhanush and Kriti Sanon’s Tere Ishk Mein shared the film’s intriguing teaser on Wednesday (October 1). Directed by Aanand L Rai, the film is all set to hit the big screens on November 28.

The first glimpse promises an emotional rollercoaster as the teaser drops viewers right into a haldi ceremony gone intense. Kriti’s character is seen celebrating, but the moment takes a dramatic turn with the arrival of an injured Dhanush. In a striking scene, he pours gangajal on her head, asking her to wash away the past before stepping into a new life – hinting at a revenge-fueled love story with his former flame.

Dhanush’s avatar in the teaser is intense and brooding. He is seen thrashing a man, revealing a relentless lover willing to go to any lengths to reclaim his love. Kriti, on the other hand, appears distraught, drinking and smoking. All this hints at the emotional turmoil in her life. Amid the tension, the teaser also offers glimpses of tender, cute moments between the two, balancing the drama with romance.

The dialogues strike a chord, particularly when Dhanush says, “Shankar kare tera beta ho… tujhe bhi pata chale ki ishq mein jo marr jaate hai vo bhi kisi ke bete hote hai.”

Arijit Singh’s soulful voice and the background score add depth to the teaser, making it all the more compelling. His voice is one of the major highlights of the teaser.

Some souls are meant to collide. Some love stories are destined to burn brighter. Tere Ishk Mein is set to explore just that.

Tere Ishk Mein is written by Himanshu Sharma and Neeraj Yadav. It is produced by Aanand L Rai, Himanshu, Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar.
