“That’s the thing about books, they let you travel without moving your feet.” – Jhumpa Lahiri

This World Book Day, India’s most loved English movies and entertainment channels, Sony PIX and AXN, celebrate the love for books with prominent author Chetan Bhagat. His books have been adapted into movies that have seen huge success at the box office. So, he is curating a special line up of movies and shows that are based on his favourite books for Sony PIX and AXN respectively.

Some of my favourite books have been adapted into movies and even shows that will air on Sony PIX and AXN for the entire month of May. I look forward to sharing what goes behind an adaptation in my FB live session on World Book Day this April 23.”
