Author
Manreet
Sodhi
Someshwar,
whose
"The
Hunt
for
Kohinoor",
the
second
book
on
Mehrunisa
trilogy,
has
hit
the
stalls,
and
filmmaker
Anubhav
Sinha
feel
that
if
the
literary
work
is
adapted
for
the
big
screen,
actress
Priyanka
Chopra
would
be
apt
to
play
the
sleuth.
"No
one
fits
the
bill
better
than
Priyanka
Chopra
with
her
strong
feminine
presence.
With
a
combination
of
vulnerability
and
head-strong
nature,
Priyanka
would
portray
Mehrunisa
perfectly," Sinha
said
said
in
a
statement.
He
launched
the
book
recently,
and
is
currently
busy
with
the
production
of
his
women-centric
drama
"Gulaab
Gang",
which
stars
Madhuri
Dixit
in
the
lead
role.
The
book
follows
a
96-hour
journey
of
Mehrunisa,
an
Indian
female
Sherlock
Holmes.
It
is
a
hunt
through
the
world's
most
dangerous
terrain
in
order
to
retrieve
the
precious
diamond
-
Kohinoor.
Someshwar
would
love
to
turn
her
books
into
the
film.
"Looking
at
the
current
set
of
Bollywood
actors,
Priyanka
comes
closest
to
my
perception
of
Mehrunisa,
and
I
would
love
to
make
this
series
of
books
into
a
movie
one
day,"
said
the
author,
an
alumnus
of
the
Indian
Institute
of
Management
Calcutta.
Her
first
book
in
the
Mehrunisa
series
was
titled
"The
Taj
Conspiracy".
