Mehul Kumar

Mehul Kumar

Biography

Mohammed Ibrahim Baloch, better known by his professional name Mehul Kumar, was born in Jamnagar, Gujarat, India. He is a celebrated Bollywood filmmaker, writer, and director, renowned for creating some of the industry's memorable hits. Among his most acclaimed works are "Marte Dam Tak" (1987), "Jung Baaz" (1989), the patriotic blockbuster "Tirangaa" (1993), the hard-hitting "Krantiveer" (1994), and "Mrityudaata" (1997). Mehul Kumar's journey in cinema began not behind the camera, but with a pen. After graduating from Bombay University in the 1970s, he initially worked as a film journalist, writing reviews and analyses of films. However, his creative instincts soon drew him to the stage. He immersed himself in Gujarati theatre, which laid a solid foundation for his future in filmmaking. His first step into cinema came with the bilingual Hindi-Gujarati film "Janam Janam Na Saath" (1977), also known in Hindi as "Phir Janam Lenge Hum." From there, he steadily built a career distinguished by bold storytelling, patriotic themes, and engaging entertainment. Beyond his professional achievements, Mehul Kumar is a dedicated family man. He runs Mehul Cinemax, a cinema in his hometown Jamnagar, under his production banner Mehul Entertainment. Filmmaking runs in his blood: his brother Hussain Bloch is also a film director, and the two have collaborated on several projects. His daughter Jahan starred as the lead in "Krantiveer: The Revolution," the sequel to his iconic film "Krantiveer." His son Zoheb has assisted him in direction, while his other daughter, Shameem Khan, has carved her own niche as a talented costume designer in the industry. Mehul Kumar's life and career reflect a profound love for cinema, a commitment to storytelling, and a legacy that continues through his family and his enduring contributions to Indian film.
