Will Smith's memoir, co-written with Mark Manson, acquired by Century

In July, Will Smith had announced that he was writing a book with The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck author Mark Manson. Touted to be a memoir, which has now been acquired by Century, the untitled book will chronicle Smith’s personal journey from his childhood to becoming a global icon. Century will publish the book in India while the North American rights have been acquired by Scott Moyers at Penguin Press. [caption id=“attachment_5347251” align=“alignnone” width=“825”] Will Smith.

Smith recently shared photographs from the sets of Punit Malhotra’s upcoming Student of the Year 2  starring Tiger Shroff in the lead. The film also marks the Bollywood debuts of Tara Sutaria and Ananya Panday. Whether Smith will have a cameo or if he will just appear in the song briefly, is yet to be revealed.
