Did you, while writing the novel, imagine that it would lend itself to a film?
I had not written Chanakya's Chant with a film in mind but my very first reader, my editor, told me that the story was visual and that she could imagine each scene playing out. 
The book moves quickly from one location and time span to another. How do you see that communicated in the film?
I believe geographical transitions will be easier to handle than time transitions. The story moves along two parallel tracksu00a0-- the present day and 2,300 years ago. The only link is a single Sanskrit chant. If this element is handled with finesse, the rest will fall in place effortlessly.
