Leading entertainment content creator, Endemol Shine India is set to adapt renowned novelist Salil Desai’s spine-chilling novel - The Sane Psychopath. The media giant on Thursday announced that it has acquired the screens rights of the novel, which is inspired by real-life incidents. However, nothing about the adaptation, schedule or its financing has been revealed yet.
“What attracted us to the book is the insight the plot gives into the legal system, the state of mental health and the impact the news and headlines have on the general public. Delving into the mind of a psychopathic killer and an idealistic lawyer, Salil Desai has penned a story that matters and has the power to change the narrative,” said Abhishek Rege, CEO, Endemol Shine India.
In a past interview to exchange4media, Abhishek had hinted on expanding their OTT content slate. He had mentioned, "Finite scripted content can be for Television but we are looking for growth largely in the OTT space. The sheer number of OTT platforms has suddenly changed the game and the requirement for content has grown significantly".
“‘The Sane Psychopath’ is my darkest novel yet and was the hardest to write. I always thought it was made-for-screen and when Endemol Shine India decided to adapt it, I almost went insane with excitement,” Salil said.
Endemol Shine Group started its operations in India in the year 2006 and has produced over 30 shows in different languages. The group has produced shows including Bigg Boss, MTV Ace of Space, Miley Jab Hum Tum, Ladies Special among several others.
