Publication House Westland Ltd Signs Rensil D’Silva

Kohinoor Express is a historical thriller set in the 1800’s. It follows the trail of the Kohinoor after it was taken from Ranjit Singh by the British (after the last Sikh War), and handed over to Queen Victoria. The novel charts the story of that epic journey.

Talking about his book, Rensil says, “The novel was born out of my fascination for the Kohinoor and my decade long research into the history of the diamond. I have repeatedly visited the Tower Of London, just to gaze at it. And have spent many hours delving into its past. While I have in the last ten years written and directed many stories for the movies, advertising and television, few stories have excited me as much as this has.”

Other authors to have been singed up by Westland Ltd include, Amish Tripathi (Shiva Trilogy), Ashok Banker (Mahabharata Series), Ashwin Sanghi (Krishna Key) and Rashmi Bansal (Follow Every Rainbow).
