‘Lords of the Deccan’ is the author’s debut work and one of the most talked-about history books of 2022. As per the official synopsis, “the book shows a world where a king writes a bawdy play that is a parable for religious contestation, where the might of India’s rulers and the wealth of its cities were talked of from Arabia to Southeast Asia; and where south Indian kingdoms serially invaded and defeated those of the north.”
It even won the Book of the Year (Non-Fiction) Award at The Mumbai LitFest.
The series will soon be available to stream on Sony LIV.
Commenting on the announcement, Saugata Mukherjee, Head Content, Sony LIV, said: “Sony LIV believes in taking great Indian stories to audiences across the globe. And in keeping with that, we are embarking on the exciting journey of capturing the history of the glorious dynasties of southern India by adapting the celebrated book ‘Lords of the Deccan’ by Anirudh Kanisetti.
“We are elated that we are joining hands with Rana Daggubati on this journey. Together, we are excited about bringing these untold histories – the glorious dynasties, the majestic lands, the valiant kings, and their many wars – to our audiences from across the world.”
The series is produced by Rana Daggubati’s Spirit Media.
