Congratulations! Actor Vishal Malhotra turns filmmaker, spills beans on his new project

MUMBAI: Actor Vishal Malhotra has been in showbiz for 26 years now and he feels he is ready to branch out. He is now all set to make his first feature film, with a unique concept.

“Three months ago, I decided that I wanted to merge the two main interests that I have — films and Non Fungible Token (NFT). I came up with this idea and thought why not create funding by selling the NFTs and from that money we make a film, like a proper project. I started working on it. I wrote the script, got it doctored,” asserts Vishal.

“Also, because of my journey of 26 years in the film industry, I have made really good friends and they lent their hands,” he says, adding, “I am happy to say that my film will be India’s first NFT crowdfunded film. It is giving me a different identity. Everyone needs a refresh. Now, people are looking at me differently and are looking at me with a fresh perspective.”

Vishal best known for his roles in TV shows like Hip Hip Hurray and films such as Ishq Vishk (2003), Salmaan-E-Ishq (2007), Kaal (2005) and Dor (2006) amon others, says that he enjoys the process of creation, and always looked at acting as a part of that, and not separately.

He further shares that he ventured into the NFT world by chance in June last year. “I was basically looking to diversify my portfolio and I found out that NFTs have a lot to do with art, creation, movies and animation, and things like that. And it immediately piqued my interest and I decided to make a NFT,” says Malhotra.

The film is currently in pre-production stage and will go on floors soon. “It is a story about a 12-year-old orphan boy and his grandmother who live in a chawl in Mumbai. The cast is locked and I will reveal it soon. As it has been in the planning for so long everything is set.”
