App Description
Graphic Novel by Rajesh Devraj & Meren Imchen
Mimic, hustler, primate, fall guy. Sudershan (Chimpanzee) lands on
the shores of Mumbai and struggles to make it in the city of dreams.
It’s the sixties, and animal stars of all kinds, from dog detectives to loyal
Rajput steeds, are the rage in Bollywood. But can a monkey find a hold
on the greasy ladder to stardom? Can he survive the scandals and the
inevitable heartbreak? And can he learn which lines
must never, never be crossed?
The deeply moving and darkly comic tale of a chimp in Bollywood,
and the creatures - human or otherwise - in his life.
