Ultimately, when the book was published in February 2010, it went on to become a huge commercial success. It included posting a live-action video on YouTube, and making the first chapter of the book available as a free digital download, to entice readers. Ultimately when his agent decided to publish the book himself, Tripathi embarked on a promotional campaign. After finishing writing The Immortals of Meluha, Tripathi faced rejection from many publication houses. He decided to base his story on a radical idea that all Gods were once human beings it was their deeds in the human life that made them famous as Gods. Tripathi had initially decided to write a book on the philosophy of evil, but was dissuaded by his family members, so he decided to write a book on Shiva, one of the Hindu Gods. Shiva decides to help the Meluhans in their war against the Chandravanshis, who had joined forces with a cursed Nagas however, during his journey and the fight that ensues, Shiva learns how his choices actually reflect who he aspires to be and how they lead to dire consequences. The Meluhans believe that Shiva is their fabled saviour Neelkanth. The story is set in the land of Meluha and starts with the arrival of the Shiva. You know the risk has been reduced," the author said.The Immortals of Meluha is the first book of Amish Tripathi, first book of Amishverse, and also the first book of Shiva Trilogy. "A bestseller means that the story is out, it is well developed and has been successful already. Tripathi said filmmakers didn't mind picking a bestseller, which meant that the story was already well liked.
The stars themselves want a good story and they have realised that a good story is important and a great place to get those stories is in books," Tripathi said. "Now the Indian film industry is changing. Pointing out that during the 50s and the 60s adaptations of books like that by Sharat Chandara, into films was quite common but the practise had died out. This is my area of passion," he said.Īccording to Amish, the domestic film industry and publishing industry were moving closer to one another. But this book would be also pertaining to mythology, history and spirituality genre.
It is certainly not an extension to the Shiva trilogy, that's over. The banker-turned-author has now started work on his next book. Tripathi was given a lucrative book deal by publisher Westland for writing his Shiva triology The Immortals of Meluha (2010), The Secret of the Nagas (2011) and The Oath of the Vayuputras (2013).
"I can't disclose the name as of now, it will be announced shortly," the 40-year-old author said. "I have signed the deal with a US producer for the first book with an option for the subsequent books," Tripathi told PTI on sidelines of ongoing Jaipur Literature Festival here.
