 Film director Karan Johar 's Dharma Productions has landed the film rights of The Immortals of Meluha . Johar said that he was " blown away with the world of Meluha and rivetted by Amish 's creation of it . I think the book lends itself beautifully for celluloid and we are very excited to promote Amish 's labour of love effectively . " The director was confirmed to be looking into the finer details of the production , along with the screenplay . Though initially speculated that Karan Malhotra 's Shuddhi would be the theatrical adaptation of the book , it was later proven false . In September 2013 , Johar announced that Malhotra would be directing The Immortals of Meluha , but only after the theatrical release of Shuddhi . Tripathi also revealed during Jaipur Literature Festival that an unnamed Hollywood producer bought the rights for an American version of the films . This led to speculation in the media whether Johar would indeed helm the film or the release would be an American production . In January 2015 , while revealing the title of his next book , Scion of Ikshvaku , Tripathi revealed that the film adaptation was on @-@ going and was probably the biggest budget that any film series have had . He also confirmed that director and screenwriter Karan Malhotra was adapting the story into the film script , with Tripathi acting as creative consultant and reviewer .
