Hansal Mehta to Direct Thriller Web Series on Encounter of UP Gangster Vikas Dubey

Producer Shailesh Singh has acquired the rights to make the series on the gangster. He told Mid-Day, “I had been following the events closely and thought, why not tell this story to the entire nation and bring out the facts?”

Dubey’s family had to be convinced to narrate his story. “It’s a recent event, and they are still coping with it. Many people had approached them, but we managed to convince them after much persuasion. They want his story to be depicted with authenticity,” Singh added.

Hansal shared the news on Twitter by retweeting post that said, “An edgy political-thriller web-series to be made on the alleged encounter of UP’s notorious gangster, #VikasDubey.. #Shahid and #Omerta fame @mehtahansal will direct the show that explores the Nexus of politics, crime and lawmakers.. Produce by Shailesh Singh, it rolls next year!”
