BOMBAY TIMES (April 26, 2019)

Producer-director Vipul Amrutlal Shah, the man behind films like Aankhen, Waqt, Namastey London, Singh Is Kingg, Holiday, Force 1 and 2, and Commando 1 and 2, is all set to announce multiple projects. The line-up includes four films and two web series, which will be produced under his banner, Blockbuster Movie Entertainers. The projects that will tell diverse stories will be made by filmmakers Sankalp Reddy, Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan, Deven Bhojani and Mozez Singh. The makers have previously directed The Ghazi Attack, Lahore, Commando 2 and Zubaan, respectively. Vipul, too, will direct a movie. His directorial will be a true story that sees him explore a new territory. “All my films have tackled a range of topics. With my new film, I am once again handling a genre that I haven’t explored before. I am excited about it and cannot wait to start working on it,” says Vipul.

While Sankalp’s film revolves around a conspiracy theory about true events that changed Indian history, Sanjay will direct an action thriller. Deven’s movie is an emotional story of a man and a dog. “These films have diverse stories and are made by talented filmmakers, who have unique voices. I look forward to backing these projects” says Vipul.

Apart from this, the filmmaker is backing Commando 3, which has been directed by Aditya Datt. The film was wrapped up recently after schedules in London and Mumbai.

Meanwhile, Vipul is also stepping into the digital space. He is working on a novel by Gujarati writer Harkishan Mehta. The story, set in 1812-1855, is based on the life of notorious thug Amir Ali, who killed 719 people. Mozez Singh will create the other web show, which revolves around the human drug testing menace in the medical world.
