Desiring spiritual fulfillment, Siddhartha leaves his home and navigates the material world shifting between decadence and asceticism. And when he meets a ferryman, the events that follow change his life forever.

Getting to work on such a celebrated work of literary brilliance is genuinely a very rare opportunity. Covering a popular work is always a walk on a tight rope. If it becomes way too different from its predecessors, it becomes unrecognisable and if it becomes way too similar we lose the newness of it all. Neeraj Kadamboor (@kadamboorneeraj) once again brought magic with his thoughtful and inspired work and we found a perfect balance. Thanks Shreya (@__shreyapandey__ ) for this. A truly rewarding collaboration!!
