Gotham Chopra, son of new age spiritual guru Deepak Chopra, completes a management buy out of Virgin Comics in 2008, and relaunches it as Liquid Comics. Its new online venture Graphic India ( www.graphicindia.com ) features free daily comic book chapters, updates and interviews with creators and graphic novel educational resources. He expects young Indians to look at the graphic novels as a promising career option. He uses the portal to publish his own writing and graphing illustrations, e.g. The Sadhu. Two comics based on, and co-created with Priyanka Chopra and Hrithik Roshan are in the pipeline. Graphic hopes to become Indian’s premier graphic novel portal. They expect Indian artists to go beyond illustrations and do some creative thinking. They expect them to become the owners of what they create.
