Financial thriller 'The Banker Who Crushed His Diamonds: The YES Bank Story' by Furquan Moharkan will now be adapted for screen by Almighty Motion Pictures. Published by Penguin Random House India earlier this year, the book written by journalist Furquan 'uncovers the deep rot set in YES Bank’s glittering success story.'
