Directed by Sudipto Sen, The Kerala Story follows the fictionalised journey of a group of young women from Kerala who are allegedly radicalized and recruited by a terror organization. Despite being mired in controversy and political debates, the film became a box-office success and found a massive audience nationwide.
Vipul Amrutlal Shah is gearing up for his upcoming directorial venture, Hisaab, a gripping heist thriller starring Jaideep Ahlawat and Shefali Shah in lead roles. Backed by Sunshine Pictures and Jio Studios, the film promises high-stakes drama and intense performances. Hisaab is expected to release in the latter half of 2025, adding to Shah’s dynamic slate of powerful stories.
