Filmmaker Siddharth Roy Kapur's 'Roy Kapur Films' is all set to join hands with an independent studio Wiip to produce a television series on William Dalrymple's bestseller 'The Anarchy.'
The official handle of Roy Kapur Film confirmed the collaboration. It tweeted, “We are delighted to partner with Wiip on #TheAnarchy! Looking forward to this association as we bring this masterpiece to screen...#SiddharthRoyKapur @DalrympleWill #PaulLee #MarkRoybal #WilliamDalrymple #TheAnarchyTheRelentlessRiseofTheEastIndiaCompany”
Set from 1599 to 1802, “The Anarchy” traces the ascent of The East India Company against the decline and fall of the Mughal Empire. It provides an account of how a provincial trading start-up, run by 30 people from an office in a nondescript London building, became rulers of an entire sub-continent. The novel was listed by former U.S. President Barack Obama as among his top 10 recommended books of 2019.
Roy Kapur Films acquired rights to the book in June. Executive producers on the project include Wiip’s Paul Lee (“Dickinson”) and Mark Roybal (“No Country for Old Men”), Roy Kapur Films’ Siddharth Roy Kapur (“Dangal”), and XPath Productions’ Naz Haider and Siva Natarajan.
The series will be set up as an international co-production between Wiip and Roy Kapur Films to be produced across the U.S., U.K., and India. Wiip and RKF will assemble a diverse international team of writers to create a global series both in scale and quality.
The series will be produced across America, the United Kingdom, and India.
