I have a problem with books as disguised screenplays: Vivaan Shah
Hindustan TimesActor-author Vivaan Shah visited Bengaluru on Friday for a unique literary event: a recitation of the works of Edgar Allen Poe. Actor-author Vivaan Shah shares that he doesn't write for his books to turn into a film or series Ask Shah, who recently released his third book, The Forsaken Wilderness, about the book-to-screen adaptation trend, which has been going strong over the past few years, and he voices his concerns: “I have a problem with books that are disguised screenplays. Pop culture has created this idea where novelists believe that their books are part of the visual medium.” The A Suitable Boy actor, however, hasn’t put a pause on his career in films, with the current year being “quite productive” for him. He says that his parents, actors Naseeruddin Shah and Ratna Pathak Shah and his brother, musician Imaad Shah, provide a stimulating environment for his artistic endeavours.
