'The Zoya Factor' to be made into a movie by Red Chillies

New Delhi, Oct 3 (PTI) Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment has bought the filming rights to jingle writer Anuja Chauhan's book "The Zoya Factor," a love story of an advertising executive and captain of an imaginary Indian cricket team.
"The Zoya Factor", published in August by Harper Collins India, has sold nearly 20,000 copies.

"This is a book that was destined to be made into a movie," said Harper Collins India CEO P M Sukumar.

Chauhan was excited about her novel's prospects on silver screen.

"I am really looking forward to seeing Zoya come to life on the big screen. I love Red Chillies movies, and am sure the film will have large dollops of both humour and heart as in the book," she said.

The books describes how the younger players in the cricket team are intrigued to learn that mid-level advertising executive Zoya Singh Solanki was born at the exact moment that India clinched the World Cup in 1983.

When having breakfast with her is followed by victories on the field, they are impressed. And when not eating with her results in defeat, they decide she is a lucky charm.

She also accompanies the team to Australia for the tenth ICC World Cup as a lucky charm. And in the process she falls in love with the erratic but brilliant captain Nikhil Khoda.

Red Chillies Entertainment was founded in 2004 by Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri.

Chauhan has given us jingles like "Yeh dil mange more", "Mera number kab ayega," "Nothing official about it," and "Oye bubbly." PTI
