- The First Book of an Epic Bollywood Saga, Maharsh Shah’s Zoravar, to be out this December
HarperCollins Publishers India is thrilled to announce that it will be publishing Maharsh Shah’s keenly anticipated debut novel, the first of a saga set in old world Bollywood, Zoravar, this December.
A work of period fiction set in the city of dreams and delusions, Mumbai, amidst the Hindi film industry of yore, Zoravar Cheema’s story is mercurial with its dramatic crests and troughs, no less than a celluloid version. The proverbial outsider, Zoravar is an intriguing figure channeling a potent mix of charisma and tenacity with a dash of danger, and his life’s story is a roller-coaster ride which promises to be unputdownable.
About the book –
Sikh. Pashtun. Thuggee. Fraud. Movie Star.
This is the story of Zoravar Cheema.
1945, Lahore, India. Zoravar Cheema, sixteen and in love with the magic of the big screen, dreams of becoming a movie star. By the time the turbulent events of 1947 roll out, he has made the most important decision of his life. He will leave his family and go to Bombay – even if it means moonlighting as a member of one of the most feared crime gangs in the country.
Zoravar begins his journey without a roadmap, spends his nights sleeping on the streets and struggles in the day as the junior-most apprentice to actors and directors, till a freak encounter makes his dream come true.
This is the captivating story of the rise and fall of a superstar, set against the heady, glittering world of Hindi cinema.
About the author – Maharsh Shah has worked extensively with major movie studios as part of their creative development and commissioning teams. He lives and works in Mumbai but would prefer to migrate to the hills and run a tavern-cum-bookstore instead. He can be reached via Twitter: @maharshs
