Ovais Khan – Journey From Ad Films To A Bollywood Movie!
They say in Bollywood if you have the zeal to succeed, nothing can stop you and that’s just what’s happening with Ovais Khan who will be debuting in the industry as a director with his maiden comedy venture.
Starting out as a fashion photographer, Ovais Khan shifted to Mumbai from Delhi and in no time started hitting headlines. In 2007, the photographer was being covered everywhere for being the only one to have brought together as many as 9 Bollywood directors including the likes of Farhan Akhtar, Rajkumar Hirani, Abbas Mustan, Siddharth Malhotra, Sudheer Mishra, Madhur Bhandaker, etc. modelling for him as his subject.
Moving onto the next level in his career, Ovais Khan then took up the ad world by storm and assisted some of the biggest ad fimmakers in the world including the likes of Armin Franzen for Chevrolet, Kaka Tong for Volkswagon, Zubin Mistry for Tata Nano & Bjorn Charpentier for Dell Laptop to name just a few. He eventually graduated to taking up ads as a DOP and shot ad films with Rayan Giggs, A R Rahman, Boris Becker, Michael Johson, Viswanathan Anand, Kareena Kapoor Khan et al.
Talking about his journey from ad films into celluloid silver screen Ovais Khan avers, “It’s been almost a decade that I have come from 1 frame to 24 frames. It’s just not a coincidence that I am trying to be a director. It’s a conscious next step.” And with that grit the director got signed by Yashvi Films for his next Rom – Com the casting for which is soon to be finalised. The movie is based in London & Mauritius and will go on the floors by the end of May, 2018.
Ovais Khan can’t wait to start the shoot for his maiden venture and excitedly states, “I have put very crucial years of my life in this industry, tried to learn everything and waited to touch the right chord. Yashvi Films has given me the chance to prove it and I am going to make the most of this chance!”
Well, this director sure has the passion to make big waves and we can’t wait for his film to shape up!
