Prabhat Prakashan Director Piyush Kumar says the basic idea behind the graphic novel was to “exploit brand Modi” in this election season.
“We wanted to exploit brand Modi as there has been a huge demand for books about his life. The idea was evolved last December during the Patna book fair and now the Hindi and English versions are ready.
We will also have an informal launch in the near future,” Kumar told PTI. “Work on bringing out the Marathi and Gujarati versions is also in progress.
Saket Prakashan, Aurangabad and Navbharat, Ahmedabad have got the rights for those. We are also working on an animation CD on his life but it will take some time,” he adds.
The concept for the book is written by Kanpur-based writer Zameer and is largely based on Modi's biography written by Kishore Makwana.
The publication house has come up with 4,000 copies each in Hindi and English and will bring the next edition soon.
