Director

Jaspal Singh Sandhu

Jaspal Singh Sandhu has carved out a distinctive niche for himself in Bollywood as a director who isn't afraid to explore unconventional storytelling. His breakout came with Angrej in 2015, a period drama that showcased his ability to blend historical settings with deeply personal narratives. Since then, he's built an impressive portfolio that spans different genres and themes, proving himself as both a writer and director who understands the pulse of contemporary Indian cinema. His film Vadh in 2022 became a turning point, establishing him as someone who can tackle dark, gritty subjects with nuance and commercial appeal. What sets Sandhu apart is his commitment to character-driven narratives that don't always follow the Bollywood rulebook. He brings a grounded, almost indie sensibility to his films while maintaining mass appeal—no small feat in an industry obsessed with formulas. With Vadh, he demonstrated his knack for psychological thrillers that keep audiences invested from start to finish, and his decision to direct the sequel, Vadh 2, slated for early 2026, signals his confidence in the franchise. Whether through period pieces or contemporary crime dramas, Sandhu continues to push boundaries and remind us that Bollywood has room for intelligent, daring cinema.
