Sabu, the remarkable story of one of India’s first actors in Hollywood. From Mysuru.
The year was 1937. A new movie was released in London. Elephant Boy. Across movie halls, the audience watched, enraptured, as a smiling young boy gracefully perched himself atop a giant elephant.
An illustrious career in movies followed, taking the boy the echelons of Hollywood.
The boy was Sabu.
His real life was no less dramatic than a movie. Orphaned at an early age, he worked in the stables as the ward of the Maharaja of Mysuru before being discovered during the shooting of Elephant Boy.
How did the young boy make the impossible journey across the ocean to the silver screen? How did he reinvent himself multiple times, fighting for the US during the World War II, working as a businessperson, and even conducting a circus act?
It is a fascinating story of one man’s remarkable journey to success and the many times he had to reinvent himself which could inspire many as we take the hard road to entrepreneurship.
This is a story from our country that we don’t know and kudos to the brilliant author Debleena Majumdar who has painstakingly researched with a commitment to bring this story to life for all of us.
Buy the book Sabu. We all need to celebrate our own stories. Dusron ki jai se pehle khud ki untold stories ko jai karen :-)
