CIU: Criminals in Uniform
by Sanjay Singh and Rakesh Trivedi
will soon be adapted into a web-series.
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 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 a prominent film maker for the series. Dushyant Singh is also known for being part of 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. Author’s rich journalistic experience has added great value. We are confident that it has full potential of a web series adaptation. We are excited to take up this project and looking forward to create 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 savoured the flavours within the book. The English version by HarperCollins has taken it to 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.”
ABOUT THE BOOK
Furore erupts across India when explosives are found in a vehicle parked outside the house of Asia’s richest man. The controversial head of Mumbai Police’s elite Crime Investigation Unit (CIU), who handles all high-profile cases, becomes the chief investigation officer of this case.
