Reliance Entertainment acquires screen rights of Harappa' trilogy

Entrepreneur Vineet Bajpai's "Harappa" trilogy is set to be adapted into the big screen or a multi-season web-series with Reliance Entertainment acquiring its rights.

The "Harappa" trilogy comprises three fiction novels - "Harappa: Curse of the Blood River" (2017); "Pralay: The Great Deluge" (2018) and "Kashi: Secret of the Black Temple" (2018).

According to the deal's advisor, Sidharth Jain from The Story Ink, "It is, beyond all doubt, a milestone transaction in terms of scale and ambition from both parties. This project holds the promise to set new standards in book-to-screen adaptations."
Speaking about the acquisition, Sweta Agnihotri, CEO (content syndication) at Reliance Entertainment, said, "The 'Harappa' trilogy transcends genre-categorisation and blends across the realms of history, mythology, fantasy, crime, thriller and contemporary fiction. It is the perfect story that needs to be told to a wider audience of cinema and digital-content."
