In the 2013 film Chander Pahar and 2016 film Amazon Obhijaan Shankar's character is portrayed by Bengali actor Dev. He ends the book saying that he will return to that cave one day with a large team, and continue the legacy of Alvarez, Carter and Gatti. In that he named the volcano after Alvarez. Before going back he wrote his account in a newspaper which earned him quite some money. He is rescued by a survey team, and taken to a hospital in Salisbury, Rhodesia, from where he sets sail for home. He becomes lost in the deserts of Kalahari and nearly dies of thirst. Shankar does so, and keeps the old diamonds. The note said that whoever reads the note can take the diamonds as long as he buries his skeleton, with Christian rites. Gatti, as Shankar learns from a note by him, had uncut diamonds in his boots. He finds the remains of the Italian explorer, Attilio Gatti, and learns that the cave he found earlier really was the diamond mine. With great difficulty, he gets out, marking his way with "pebbles" and taking some back with him as memento, not knowing each is a piece of uncut diamond. He enters the cave but eventually gets lost. He finds the Bunyip's cave and the diamond mines by accident. Eventually, they get lost in the forests where Alvarez suffers death at the hands of a mysterious monster, the same that had taken Carter's life, the Bunyip.Ī grieved and demoralised Shankar sets out to attempt to reach civilization. But the volcano was unknown to the world outside, thus making Shankar and Alvarez its first discoverers. They meet with innumerable hardships, a raging volcano being the greatest challenge. Shankar, highly inspired by Alvarez's exploits, resigns from his job and accompanies Alvarez as they decide to venture out once more and find the mines. The explorers set off, much against the villagers' advice, braved the dense jungle and hostile environment but met with disaster- for Carter was gruesomely killed, supposedly by the Bunyip. Lured by a priceless, uncut yellow diamond gifted by the Chief of a Kaafi village, Alvarez and Carter had resolved to find the cave of these yellow diamonds, located on the Mountain of the Moon- Chander Pahar- in the Richtersveldt, which was believed to be guarded by the mythical monster, the Bunyip. While recuperating, Alvarez narrated his earlier exploits in Africa with his friend Jim Carter. Alvarez's arrival becomes a turning point in Shankar's life. While at this post, Shankar one day encounters, rescues and nurses Diego Alvarez, a middle-aged Portuguese explorer and gold/diamond prospector. Here his presence of mind enables him to have a narrow escape from another hazard in Africa: the deadly black mamba. Later he takes up a job as station master in a desolate station amidst the Veldts. There, he spends a few months as a part of a company laying rail tracks but soon encounters the first of many dangers of pre- World War I Africa: man-eating lions who claim the lives of a few of his new-found friends in Africa. While residing in Ghatshila, he had a coronary attack and at the age of 56 Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay died.Shankar reading 'Kenia Morning News' in front of the campfire.
