Director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari (Bareilly Ki Barfi, Panga) has turned novelist with her debut fiction novel, Mapping Love.

The teaser of the novel was released by Rupa Publications. Set in the jungles of India, the novel combines intertwining tales of love. It will be launched in May this year.

Talking about her first novel, Ashwiny said, "As a storyteller, every once in a while, there are stories I want to say in a medium that brings out the essence in true spirit. Mapping Love is that story of falling in love with the art of writing all over again with stillness. It's taken three years to type it to life and I am filled with happiness as Rupa Publications brings my debut novel to everyone."
