Mukul Deora wears many hats. Son of politician Murli Deora, the DJ-musician's latest avatar is that of producer. And he's ready to produce a film based on Man Booker-winning novel The White Tiger with Hollywood producers of The Revolutionary Road

How did you meet Patrick Smith and John Hart (producers of Revolutionary Road)?
John Hart is very big. He's made films like Boys Don't Cry. I heard that he was trying to make a film on Adiga's The White Tiger and was looking for an Indian partner who could provide strong ground support.
I went to New York and met him through a friend. We gelled, and decided to do the film together.


Deora believes Adiga's book can garner universal cinematic
appeal

What attracted you to the book?
Both of us loved it, and John thought it would make a good cinematic story. The book is a propulsive and witty (even serious films need to have humour) story of modern India. I believe it will have great universal appeal.
