Sikandar

Sikandar director turns crime novelist

Award-winning director Piyush Jha whose 2009 film Sikandar about a little boy’s dreams to be a footballer in militancy-ridden Kashmir fetched him rave notices, has been lying low for 3 years. Piyush has now resurfaced in a startling new <em>avatar</em>. He has taken to writing crime novels. In fact his first novel <em>Mumbaistan</em> is being published by Rupa & Co in the first week of August. It will be released by Piyush’s newly-found patron-saint Ekta Kapoor. He has cut a lucrative 3-book deal with Rupa.
