Gaumont<\/a> is working with producer Dina Dattani (Brahman Naman<\/em>, Mukti Bhavan<\/em>, The Ashram<\/em>) on an adaptation of Preti Taneja\u2019s novel We That Are Young<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We That Are Young<\/em> is a reimagining of Shakespeare\u2019s King Lear<\/em> set in modern-day India. It tells the tale of a power battle within a billionaire family dynasty, for status within a nation in a constant state of transformation and for the love and respect of a father disappearing into dementia.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe That Are Young<\/em> is a work of epic scope and depth, providing a deep insight into today\u2019s India, and the clash of tradition with modernization, as well as nuanced sexual politics,\u201d commented Gene Stein, president of television at Gaumont U.S. \u201cWe intend to shoot this series on location in India with the highest degree of authenticity while creating an elevated dramatic storyline with true global appeal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPreti Taneja\u2019s King Lear<\/em> story works remarkably well with a critical look at the balance of power in contemporary India through its three female protagonists in charge of a powerful dynasty in a patriarchal society,\u201d added Dattani, who acquired the TV rights to the book on first publication and who will serve as an executive producer. \u201cGaumont and I have a similar vision for this series, and I feel honored to be collaborating with a company that brought us the hugely successful Narcos<\/em>, amongst so many other shows.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
