Now that the world is making progress socially and also with technology such as AI, this should be made into a movie. Timing is everything and it seems that the timing is perfect for this powerful and exciting work to be converted to a movie or limited series.

In so many ways it would be a perfect tribute to the author as well for the excellent work and research

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER“[A] torrent of endlessly inventive prose, by turns comic and enraged, embracing life in all its contradictions. In this spectacular novel, verbal pyrotechnics barely outshine its psychological truths.”—Newsday

Winner of the Whitbread Prize

One of the most controversial and acclaimed novels ever written,
The Satanic Verses is Salman Rushdie’s best-known and most galvanizing book. Set in a modern world filled with both mayhem and miracles, the story begins with a bang: the terrorist bombing of a London-bound jet in midflight. Two Indian actors of opposing sensibilities fall to earth, transformed into living symbols of what is angelic and evil. This is just the initial act in a magnificent odyssey that seamlessly merges the actual with the imagined. A book whose importance is eclipsed only by its quality, The Satanic Verses is a key work of our times.

As the book is currently banned in India, thanks to INC, I can neither confirm nor deny reading the book.

It’s a superb work and a must read by everyone.

Nope. No Bollywood director is brave or talented enough to adapt something as imaginative and complex as The Satanic Verses into a movie. They can only make stuff like Hamaray Bara or Kerala Story to appease their target audience. And no, you haven't read The Satanic Verses. It's too complex, both in subject and prose, for someone who thinks Hamaray bara is deep and calls it progressive lol

Satanic verses is banned. Like that BBC documentary on Modi. It's interesting how much Modi has in common with Ayatollah Khomeini. Anyway back to Satanic Verses, good prose can never be successfully turned into films, it happens rarely but sure , let's have something based on it . Why not ? If the Ramayana can be scrutinised so can the Quran. As they should be.
