Mumbai, April 16: Aashu Patel’s saga on the underworld, narrated in his latest cult thriller book was launched today at a grand event at the city bookstore, Granth in the presence of a bevy of Bollywood and Tellywood celebrities. The book is the first one in English for the bestselling Gujarati author and was launched by Tigmanshu Dhulia. Actor-Director, Anant Mahadevan and actress Ishita Sarkar read parts of the book at the launch.  The event was also attended by Sanjay Chhel and Jayantilal Gada. The renowned Bollywood director announced that he would be adapting the book into a Bollywood film.



“I had met Aashu almost a decade ago and since then we have been good friends. Aashu's knowledge of underworld amazes me. The moment he narrated the plot of Madam X, I decided to make a movie based on it. It is a very gripping book and gives us an insight into the very soul of the underworld. Madam X is set in the nineties when the underworld was at its peak," says Tigmanshu Dhulia.


“Back in the nineties while I was into journalism, I extensively studied and tracked the underworld. It is during this period that I got acquainted with people from the underworld and this gave me the edge when I began writing plots around the subject. Madam X is perhaps the only female protagonist in the otherwise male dominated underworld,” says the author. “The story is about how a small-town girl’s ambition to make it big takes her on an unexpected, roller-coaster journey to becoming the protégé of an infamous don to eventually becoming the most dreaded gangster of the underworld.” With this sensational novel senior Gujarati writer-journalist Aashu Patel enters the English market for the first time. After starting his career as a journalist in Gujarati, he made his mark as a columnist and later a writer. He has 26 published books to his credit including a coffee table book on Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.




The book is published by Shree Book Centre. It will be available at Granth and all leading book stores across India.
