Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories about Sherlock Holmes are iconic, and many films and TV shows have been based off the detective. On Thursday, actor Priyanka Chopra took to Instagram to reveal that the famous literary detective was her favourite book-to-movie adaptation.
Sharing a photo collage of Robert Downey Jr, Basil Rathbone and Benedict Cumberbatch, Priyanka wrote on her Instagram story, “No: I am not tired. I have a curious constitution. I never remember feeling tired by work, though idleness exhausts me completely.” Though it sounds like I could totally have said it, these are actually the words of the master of deduction, #SherlockHolmes. No wonder it’s my fave book-to-film adaptation. Thanks, @sonamkapoor for nominating me! I nominate @ranveersingh to share his favourite film adapted from literature. #WordToScreenMarket2018 #JioMAMIwithSatar2018.”
Many actors like Sonam Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor have taken to social media to talk about their favourite books that have been adapted into movies. Sonam, who had nominated Priyanka to share her favourite movie based on a book, revealed Gone With The Wind, Breakfast At Tiffanys and The Godfather as the movie adaptations she the most liked. In a series of posts, Sonam also nominated her cousin, actor Arjun Kapoor and her sister, film producer and stylist, Rhea Kapoor.
“I’d cut up my heart for you to wear if you wanted it.” Margaret Mitchell wrote. Vivian Leigh’s Scarlett O’Hara cut up her curtains instead. I nominate @priyankachopra to share her favorite film adapted from literature,” Sonam wrote on Instagram. Sonam is supporting Mumbai Film Festival’s new Word to Screen initiative, through which the festival creates a platform where books can be adapted for screen.
