The novel is about on women who live in Chambal under terror and still manage to lead a good life.
Pareek, who hails from Jaipur, is presently based in London. Based on the book, filmmaker Anurag Sharma is making a movie titled 'Vedna'.
Talking to TOI on Tuesday, Pareek, said, "My father was posted in Dholpur from 2005 to 2008 as additional district judge in a fast track court. I was in Class XII when I was fascinated towards the ravines and the stories of society where many a times a women were seen fighting their battles against the affluent Thakurs and others in the village. During my stint as an engineer in London, I penned the book which is getting acclaim."
On the film, he said, "I got a call from the director in 2015 saying he wished to make a film on my novel and I consented. I am excited to see how he recreates the novel on the silver screen."
The film is being shot at Devisingh Ka Pura, Ramsagar Dam and other places.
