Chetan had shared the draft of his book with us even before it was published and we instantly reacted to its cinematic potential. It is a very simple and heartfelt story about being young, being confused, being in love, getting corrupt… I am looking forward to writing and directing this book for the screen.” Siddharth Roy Kapur, Managing Director, Studios, Disney UTV, adds, “We are excited to have played the catalyst in bringing Chetan and Raj Kumar together. Speaking about his decision to direct the movie, Raj Kumar says, “When I read the novel, I was quite moved. I can’t wait for the three characters to be cast and brought to life,” says the author, who earlier collaborated with the production house on Kai Po Che. “It is an intense love story set against the backdrop of corruption in the education sector, which affects millions across the country. The novel, which revolves around the lives of childhood friends - Gopal, Raghav and Aarti - will be made into a drama film with strong roles for the three main leads. Chetan Bhagat has once again teamed up with Disney UTV, this time for the screen adaptation of his latest bestseller Revolution 2020, to be directed by Raj Kumar Gupta.
