“A policeman’s wife is missing.”

It is a one-line film idea that was given by producer MM Chandramouli to writer Praveen Khumar N. who was impressed by reading his debut novel. An Incredible Indian Rescue.

The producers wanted a slap comedy revolving around that line, but Praveen found it really hard. “I just can’t make it funny. So, I wrote a thriller in the form of a book and presented it when it was 70% complete. “

The producer came through it, and was convinced that it was “global content”. A film on the subject is currently working, but Praveen is currently based in the good vibes he receives for his written version. His second book, Fight for power (Emerald Publishers), founded in Chennai, revolves around how life changes for Thilak Ratnagar, ACP Crime, when he investigates a corpse in a lake.
