... And a movie. The Kannada Chaluvali Vatal Paksha leader is hoping to inspire young activists with the story of his 48-year struggle for the Kannada cause
"Other than the protests and arrests, there are many other interesting details that people don't know about," said Vatal.
"I will try to bring out the minute details as realistically as I can. The book will have some very unusual photographs and incidents related to my life."
Vatal is optimistic that he can officially announce details of the movie by December this year.
'I'm unique'
Through the book and movie, Vatal hopes to inspire young activists.
"I'm a unique politician," added Vatal. "Hence, I want my life to be a message to young activists fighting for the cause of Kannada."
His supporters are looking forward to the book and movie.
"We have been with him for many years," said N Gopi, a staunch supporter.
"His life in the form of a book or movie is welcome."
