Shahroz Ali Khan was fascinated by movies ever since childhood and always nurtured the dream of becoming a filmmaker. With dreams in his eyes, he shifted base to Mumbai with the singular goal of becoming a filmmaker. For an industry outsider in Bollywood, the going is exceedingly tough.
Undeterred by rejections and barriers, he persisted, starting off by assisting senior producers and directors to learn the ropes of film-making.
After much struggle, he got his big break as an Associate Producer with the film ‘Mushkil’ starring Rajneesh Duggal and debutante Pooja Bisht. This suspense thriller film gave him the opportunity to get involved in all aspects of filmmaking including strategising, location scouting and understanding visual aesthetics. ‘Mushkil’ became his training ground, equipping him for bigger challenges ahead as a producer.
As Shahroz gained more exposure and experience, he ventured into producing full-fledged feature films. His debut film as Producer was ‘Main Zaroor Aaunga’ in 2019 starring Arbaaz Khan, Aindrita Ray and Vikas Verma. Despite being a small budget film, it won critical acclaim cementing Shahroz’s reputation as an emerging producer to watch out for.
What followed were a series of films like Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway starring Rani Mukherjee and based on a real life story of an immigrant Indian mother fighting against the Norwegian foster care system to win back custody of her children and Bawaal, a romantic drama starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor which was shot extensively in Europe being Shahroz’s biggest film till date with a lavish production budget.
