Satish Kaushik wants vampire film based on a book!

The director has taken copy rights of a fast paced, horror thriller book written by an Indian author Director Satish Kaushik will soon be making a film on Vampires based on a book. No, he is not encouraged by the TWILIGHT SAGA, but a fast paced, horror thriller written by an Indian author, which is a new genre for this part of the world of cinema. The Company RED by Shantanu Dhar is soon going to be a motion picture and the copy rights for the same were taken by Kaushik.

'I have read the book and I love the way Shantanu writes. This is such a gripping thriller that once you start reading it, you don't want to stop till the book finishes. I love making movies and to give this book the form of a film will be amazing. This is a completely new genre for the literally world and cinematic world of India. But we will make it at an international level,' tells Kaushik.

The Company RED is Shantanu Dhar's first book and the first one of the trilogy he intend to write. The book will officially release on August. The book sets the basis for what the protagonist Ardhendu becomes, thanks to his exposure to RED. Ardhendu Bose, a fatherless middle-class Bengali boy brought up by a domineering and vicariously ambitious mother, tries to escape from the failures of life, in the arms of his Punjabi girlfriend, a BPO job that is sheer drudgery, the mindless somersaults of Crystal, his six-year-old Labrador, and in the company of the never-say-die and Texan drawl trawling Manoj.

But the whole thing is set to change overnight. A loser from a B-grade Indian business school, Ardhendu is summoned for an interview by RED, the fourth largest Life Sciences Company in the world. His life takes a turn for the better, or so he believes, when he is chosen over an IIM hopeful, to be Executive Assistant to President, India Operations, RED. Finally, he gets a life, works with people with exotic names he pronounces effortlessly as though he were one of them, drinks their fine spirits, attends their parties, and climbs the ladder rapidly. Till that epiphany moment in a penthouse balcony when it becomes clear that there is a price to pay to be a part of that world... of predators.

A frightful and thought-provoking tale of hunts is blurring lines between humans and vampires.

Kaushik might also be seen acting in this film, which will add to his diverse acting filmography.
