Mythology & Fantasy Writer Shrikant Vishwakarma Returns with a New Vikram Betal Adventure
Mumbai, India – Renowned mythology and fantasy writer Shrikant Vishwakarma is once again bringing the timeless world of Vikram and Betal back to audiences with an exciting new story filled with mystery, mythology, palace conspiracies, and supernatural adventure.
For more than 14 years, Shrikant Vishwakarma has been writing for the Indian television and entertainment industry. Over the course of his career, he has contributed to several mythology and devotional television productions, including Parshuram, Gau Mata Kamdhenu, Kaal Bhairava, Kaak Bhushandi Ramayan, Mata Saraswati, Tirupati Balaji, and many other projects. His work has earned recognition for blending authentic Indian mythology with engaging fantasy storytelling.
The Journey of Chhota Vikram & Baal Betal
Several years ago, Shrikant Vishwakarma created a unique mythology-fantasy story for young readers titled Chhota Vikram & Baal Betal. The book was independently published on Amazon Kindle, introducing children to a fresh interpretation of the legendary Vikram-Betal universe through adventure, friendship, courage, and imagination.
More recently, the project received international attention when Orbit, an imprint of the Hachette Book Group UK, expressed interest in publishing Chhota Vikram & Baal Betal as a hardcover edition. The opportunity marked an important milestone in the author's publishing journey.
While pursuing international publishing opportunities, Vishwakarma has also expressed his desire to retain the digital adaptation rights to the story, reflecting his long-term vision of developing the property for television, streaming platforms, or films in the future.
Vikram Betal Uttar Katha – A New Chapter in the Legendary Saga
Before revisiting Chhota Vikram & Baal Betal, Shrikant Vishwakarma also wrote another mythology-fantasy novel titled Vikram Betal Uttar Katha, which takes the classic legend in an entirely new direction.
In this story, King Vikram returns to Ujjaini with Betal, but instead of peace, the royal palace becomes the center of dangerous political conspiracies and hidden betrayals.
Unlike traditional versions of the tale, Betal is portrayed not as Vikram's burden but as his trusted friend, loyal companion, and courageous protector. Together, they face enemies both human and supernatural.
The greatest threat comes from a terrifying Nar-Pishachini, a demonic female entity searching for the mysterious Betal Singhasan. According to the legend, anyone who sits upon this mystical throne can enslave Betal forever and gain unimaginable dark powers.
Can Vikram protect his kingdom?
Will Betal be captured by the Nar-Pishachini?
What secrets lie hidden beneath the throne of Ujjaini?
The answers unfold through an action-packed fantasy adventure filled with mythology, suspense, ancient legends, and unforgettable characters.
Expanding into Screen Entertainment
The Vikram Betal universe continues to evolve as Shrikant Vishwakarma develops new mythology-based concepts for the screen. Alongside several creative collaborations in the entertainment industry, the legendary world of Vikram Betal remains one of his most ambitious creative visions.
Among all his mythology projects, however, Chhota Vikram & Baal Betal continues to hold a special place in his heart. Designed for readers of all ages, it combines Indian mythology with fantasy, humor, courage, and timeless moral values, making it suitable for both children and family audiences.
A Rising Voice in Indian Mythology and Fantasy
As Indian mythology continues to gain worldwide popularity, writers capable of presenting traditional legends with modern storytelling are becoming increasingly important. Shrikant Vishwakarma has consistently worked toward that goal by creating original stories inspired by India's rich mythological heritage.
With new books, television concepts, and fantasy adventures in development, readers can look forward to many more imaginative worlds from the author in the coming years.
Whether through Vikram Betal Uttar Katha, Chhota Vikram & Baal Betal, or future mythology-based stories, Shrikant Vishwakarma continues to expand the possibilities of Indian fantasy literature—bringing ancient legends to a new generation of readers and viewers.
