had ended in 1959, with ‘Apur Sansar’ (The World of Apu). ‘Avijatrik’ focuses on the wanderlust of the main protagonist and the story of a sublime bond between a father and a son. The story is of Apu and his six-year-old son Kajol. It will have new characters, including Lila, who was not part of the trilogy but was a major character in the novel. Another addition would be the introduction of Apu’s adventurer friend who was also part of the book and who will be an integral part of Apu and Kajol’s life.
