Shroff himself is a huge devotee of Lord Shiva and takes inspiration from his stories.

‘The Immortals of Meluha’ is the first novel of the widely popular ‘Shiva’ trilogy series based on the Hindu God of the same name. The story revolves around the fundamental concept that all Gods were once human beings and the deeds they carried out throughout their mortal life is what made them famous as Gods.
