BAFTA winner writer Jeremy Brock will adapt independent studio Wiip and India’s Roy Kapur Films’ series based on the book by author and historian William Dalrymple.
Sharing the news on social media, Roy Kapur Films official handle tweeted, “We are thrilled to share the news that the celebrated screenwriter Jeremy Brock will be writing the enthralling story of William Dalrymple's best-selling book, The Anarchy: The Relentless Rise of The East India Company! @roykapurfilms @wiip_ent @DalrympleWill #SiddharthRoyKapur #TheAnarchy #RoyKapurFilms”
The Anarchy will be mounted as an international co-production between Wiip and Roy Kapur Films to be produced across the U.S., U.K. and India.
The book tells the story of how one of the world’s most magnificent empires, the Mughal empire, disintegrated and came to be replaced by the British East India Company – a dangerously unregulated private company based thousands of miles away in a small London office just five windows wide.
The bestselling historical book won accolades as President Barack Obama’s top 10 recommended books and one of The Wall Street Journal’s Best Books of the Year when it was published in 2019.
Apart from book adapted series, Roy Kapur Films is also backing Pippa, Woh Ladki Hai Kahaan and Bas Karo Aunty.
