Roy Kapur, who backed films such as 'The Sky is Pink' and 'Yeh Ballet' under RKF, said that adaptation of the book is relevant in the current times as there is a debate around corporations and individuals amassing power to "wield control over minds and nations".



"What could be more relevant to global viewers than the true story of the takeover of an entire subcontinent by a small trading company," the producer added.

The pre-production work of the series is expected to begin soon.
