A still from Rakshak
It's for the first time in the history of Indian Cinema a graphic novel Rakshak, a vigilante superhero, will be made into a feature film directed by filmmaker Sanjay Gupta. A source revealed White Feather Films has bought the rights of the graphic novel Rakshak from Yali Dream Creations CEO and Publisher Asvin Sirvastangam.
Rakshak is a vigilante sans superpowers; yes there are quite a few of them, the biggest one being Batman, followed by Punisher, Daredevil, Kickass and others. The uniqueness of Rakshak as a vigilante comes from the fact that he is an ex-Indian army marine commando or MARCO, equivalent to US Navy Seals.
