India, May 31 -- A fter author Amish Tripathi shut down speculation earlier this month about actor Ranveer Singh playing Lord Shiva in a film adaptation of The Immortals of Meluha, rumours of another project based on the bestselling novel began doing the rounds. Reports claimed that director-screenwriter Suparn S Varma has been researching the project for the past two years. However, when contacted, Suparn clarifies that he is not involved in any new film adaptation of the book. "I wish I was. I would love to be, but no," he shares. The 51-year-old adds, "I had worked on it earlier when Roy Price (US producer and former Amazon executive) had taken the rights. It is one of my most beloved projects. But it didn't transpire then. I think the rights have gone back to Amish." We also reached out to Amish, who says reports of any movie deal being signed for the Shiva Trilogy "isn't true at all". "Lots of deals have happened earlier but nothing has been made as yet, " he says, adding, "Quality is more important than speed. I don't mind it if it takes time."...
