Sikh. Pashtun. Thuggee. Fraud. Movie star.

This is the story of Zoravar Cheema.

1945, Lahore, India. Zoravar Cheema, eighteen, has made the most important decision of his life yet. He will flee from his family and go to Bombay to be a movie star - even if it means moonlighting as a member of one of the most feared crime gangs in the city. Zoravar begins his journey without a roadmap, spends his nights sleeping on the streets and struggles in the day as the junior-most apprentice to movie stars, till a freak encounter makes his dreams come true.

A captivating story of the dizzying rise and fall from grace and innocence of a superstar, set against the heady, glittering world of Bollywood.
