However, have you ever wondered how difficult it must have been to shoot that bear-like creature from Ghost Stories or to bring to life the dystopian world from Leila? Netflix India gives us a peek into behind-the-scenes footage of some of its most-loved content and shares how its army toils to build strong characters like <keyword id="6686946" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="ganesh-gaitonde">Ganesh Gaitonde</keyword>, <keyword id="2689104" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="ghoul">Ghoul</keyword> and Veere Singh on-screen. <br /><br />Its latest campaign pays an ode to those men and women who bring their stories to life. From writing a dialogue to making it rain in summer to withstanding the mental, emotional and physical load of getting every minute detail right in their production, this film gives you a reality check that the stardom comes with its own struggles. And without the contributions of the crew on film and show sets, Netflix wouldn’t be a reality. <br /><br />Voiced by Anurag Kashyap in a very relaxing tone, it tells you that ‘we are in this together and we will make it work. Netflix won’t stop making stories as long as it is around.’ <br /><br />        <div type="Youtube" id="IolAJRGpLZg" title="For The Heroes Behind The Scenes ft. Anurag Kashyap | The Making Of... | Netflix India" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IolAJRGpLZg/mqdefault.jpg"></div><br />Earlier last month on April 3, Netflix had announced that it will contribute $1 mn (approximately Rs 7.5 crore) to the Producers Guild of India (PGI) Relief Fund. This fund, set up by PGI, will provide emergency short term relief to thousands of daily wage earners in the Indian creative community, who have been directly impacted by the closure of productions in the country due to the pandemic. This will include those who help with lighting, setting, and electricians, carpenters and spot boys - many of whom are paid hourly wages and work on a project-to-project basis. In India, Netflix has also committed up to four weeks of pay for all core below-the-line crew who were scheduled to work on Netflix’s productions in India. <br />

'Sacred Games,' Netflix's first original TV series from India, faces legal heat for unflattering reference to assassinated Prime Minister

<br />
<br /> Movies and books continue to be the main source of entertainment for us. And Indian authors have become a tribe to reckon with. While international authors have always successfully transited from books to movies; for e.g.; JK Rowling’s ‘<keyword id="6357995" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="20" keywordseo="Harry-Potter">Harry Potter</keyword> and the Philosopher’s stone’ not only sold more than a 100 million copies, but also grossed over 2 billion in revenues as a movie; we are hoping to see more Indian authors do the same.<br />
<br />
This got us thinking; what makes a book appealing for adaptation by film or TV producers? How can you tell if a book is screen-worthy? Books that are extremely popular, have a great deal of mass appeal, are intriguing and keep you captivated.<br />
<br />
And so a really good book is bait for a lot of people — on the strength of a book you're able to attract really great talent to work on its adaptation; because readers want to get closer to the characters they love.<br />
<br /> We shortlisted 5 such books, who have already won the <keyword id="23919" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="crossword">Crossword</keyword> Book Award, and here goes;<br />
<br /> 1. The Hungry Tide by <keyword id="23798" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="amitav-ghosh">Amitav Ghosh</keyword> - The Hungry Tide is a very contemporary story of adventure and unlikely love, identity and history, set in one of the most fascinating regions on the earth. Off the easternmost coast of India, in the <keyword id="55869" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bay-of-Bengal">Bay of Bengal</keyword>, lies the immense labyrinth of tiny islands known as the Sundarbans.<br />
<br /> 2. Sacred Games by <keyword id="160167" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vikram-Chandra">Vikram Chandra</keyword>: The novel draws the reader deep into the life of Inspector Sartaj Singh—and into the criminal underworld of Ganesh Gaitonde, the most wanted gangster in India. It is is a story of friendship and betrayal, of terrible violence, of an astonishing modern city and its dark side.<br />
<br /> 3. Past Continuous by <keyword id="628756" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Neel-Mukherjee">Neel Mukherjee</keyword>: Set in 1970s and 80s India, 90s England and in the first decade of twentieth-century Bengal, on the eve of Lord Curzon’s infamous Bengal Partition of 1905, Past Continuous is a scalding book about dislocations and alienations, about outsiders and losers, about the tenuous and unconscious intersections of lives and histories and about the consolations of storytelling. It is also a book about the impossibilities of love.<br />
<br />
4. Sea of Poppies (The Ibis Trilogy) by Amitav Ghosh: The story is set prior to the First Opium War on the banks of the holy river Ganga, and in Kolkatta. The author compares the Ganges to the Nile, the lifeline of the Egyptian civilization, attributing the provenance and growth of these civilizations to these selfless, ever-flowing bodies. He portrays the characters as poppy seeds emanating in large numbers from the field to form a sea, where every single seed is uncertain about its future.<br />
<br /> 5. The Bankster by <keyword id="150696" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ravi-Subramanian">Ravi Subramanian</keyword>: The uneasy calm in <keyword id="3881458" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="greater-boston-global-bank">Greater Boston Global Bank</keyword> (GB2) is shattered when a series of murders rock the façade of the compliant and conforming bank that GB2 has built up over the years. Who is to blame? Who is driving these intriguing and bone chilling murders? What is the motive behind these gruesome killings? No one has a clue.<br />
