Sacred Games is all the rage these days, now that the second season of the hit web series has released. Will Sartaj Singh be able to avert a nuclear disaster? What is the exact role that the character called Guruji is playing in carrying out a terror attack in Mumbai city? How did Gaitonde come to be the fearsome gangster he is portrayed as? These are the questions viewers are asking ever since the show launched on August 15.

But none of this would have been possible had a team of scriptwriters not got together to adapt the Vikram Chandra novel for the screen. A workshop this week called Beyond the Storyboard will teach participants the same process of turning a book into a piece of text fit for a film or TV series. The event will also include a section where illustrator Chetan Sharma will tell participants what it takes to adapt a graphic novel for the digital medium, arming them with the skills that were required for making a film like V for Vendetta or Sin City.
