The book was released by Chief Guest Shri Muthusamy Varadarajan (Former Secretary, Culture, Govt. of India) and the first copy was received by Pt.Birju Maharaj (Kathak maestro).The book reveals the difficulties faced by a male dancer in establishing himself. While telling the most romantic love story of how Dhananjayan met his wife Shanta, it considers whether his success depended on his being one half of a dancing couple. Tracing the central story of Dhananjayan as a brilliant performer and guru, his collaboration with Pandit Ravi Shankar, his meeting the Beatles George Harrison among other eminent people, it also narrates the stories of many other male dancers.
