Ali Abbas Zafar began his journey as a director with Mere Brother Ki Dulhan (2011) and went on to deliver memorable films like Gunday (2014), Sultan (2016), Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), Bharat (2019), etc. At one point, he was the only filmmaker besides Rajkumar Hirani to have two films in the coveted Rs. 300 crore club. He also made his writing debut with Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and ventured into production with Khaali Peeli (2020). His latest production, Parivarik ManuRanjan, released on Sony LIV on November 13. Interestingly, with this slice-of-life entertainer, starring Pankaj Tripathi and Aditi Rao Hydari, Ali has added another feather, or rather, feathers, to his cap.
