Director Shaad Ali forays into the digital space with gangster drama written by producer Bunty Walia

He may be better known for his romance dramas, including Saathiya (2002) and OK Jaanu (2017), but director Shaad Ali is keen to explore an unfamiliar territory with his web debut. The director is set to foray into the digital space with Gangsters Of London, a gritty drama that traces how the Asian community ruled the streets of the British capital in the '70s and '80s.
The venture sees him join forces with Bunty Walia, who has co-written the script. "For me, a web series is as big and as important as a feature film. Gangs Of London is a period piece about Asians in the UK and their trials and tribulations. It's about Indians who have gone there and literally fought their way up," says Ali.
