In today’s episode of Figuring Out, we have Vipul Shah in conversation with Raj Shamani. He is one of the finest film producers and directors of India. He has made movies like ‘The Kerala Stories’, ‘Namaste London’, and ‘Commando’. In this episode, we talked about the reality behind ‘The Kerala Story’ movie, what is happening in Kerala, how Catholic girls in Kerala are trapped and what is ‘Love Jihad’. He also shared how the ISIS model works and how he researched for ‘The Kerala Story’ movie. He also answered the allegations made by Dhruv Rathee on the movie. We also asked him about the death threats he got for the movie and how he dealt with it. We then talked about his movie ‘Bastar- The Naxal Story’, what is actually happening in Bastar, and things that most of us don’t know about. We then talked about his childhood, his college life, and how he came in direction and production. We talked about if favoritism happens in Bollywood and how new writers and actors can reach out to him.
