Anish Trivedi pens sequel to Jeffrey Archer's novel for film

In what must qualify as a first in the field of literary adaptations, author-columnist Anish Trivedi has written a sequel to international best-selling author Jeffrey Archer's novel "First Among Equals".

Now the story from "First Among Equals" is being carried forward by Trivedi in a screenplay entitled "Dilli" for a feature film to be produced by Sheetal Talwar.

Though not much is being revealed about the project, it is understood that the screen-sequel to Archer's novel is an Indo-Pak love story.

Said Talwar: "All I can reveal at the moment is that that we've bought the rights to Jeffrey Archer's 'First Among Equals', which we'll make into a television serial eventually. And yes, Anish Trivedi has written a sequel to 'First Among Equals'. It is based in the present-day cross-border politics."

The sequel to Archer's novel will eventually be converted into a novel.

"We've authorised them to publish the book three months after the film's release," said Talwar.

The film is expected to go on the floors by the end of the year.
