In the entertainment business, Imaad Shah has mostly always been front-facing. Be it the theatre stage, movies, or as one-half of the electronic music duo Madboy/Mink, Shah’s over two-decade-long career has largely played out before an audience and the camera. But what the actor-musician equally enjoys doing, and what he has been assiduously working towards for the last few years, is stepping behind the lens. 

Apart from writing, Shah says over a phone call that he has “picked up the camera in a big way, shooting around a lot”. His vision is to create a “sort of mix of documentary and fiction that feels like the real world” and captures the flavour of his home city, Mumbai.
