Vishal began his career in the Indian Film Industry as a music composer for films. He met with an early success in his career with music in films like "Maachis" and "Satya" where he created a new kind of sound altogether.

He earned a reputation with his constant experimentation and his script sense - a quality that was rare in other composers in the industry. His music gained recognition and earned him many accolades like the Channel [V] Awards and Filmfare Award for his first film "Maachis" and the National Film Award for best music in a film called "Godmother".

With a view to satisfy his urge to sharpen and enhance his creative skills, Vishal decided to try his hand at the more strenuous profession of film direction. Previous to this production, he had directed two short films on video for reputed Television Channels in the country. Both these films were appreciated by the audiences and he received further encouragement to make a film. Makdee is his first feature, an attempt to both entertain and inform.

Vishal lives in Mumbai and still manages to find some time to play cricket, another passion, only when he is not recording music, writing or working on his next feature.
