Biography
Faisal Hashmi is an Indian film director and screenwriter born in 1985. He rewrote the playbook for Gujarati cinema by introducing genres and technology that had never existed in the regional industry before.
His debut, Vitamin She, was a romantic comedy that became a cultural moment — housefull for six straight weeks and one of the biggest hits of 2017. The success gave him leverage to attempt something no one in Gujarat had tried: Short Circuit, the region's first-ever science fiction feature. He assembled a top-tier crew from Bollywood and South India to execute the vision, and the film became both a critical and commercial win, running successfully for four weeks.
His third film, the horror-comedy Faati Ne?, became a runaway phenomenon, breaking the 23-week theatrical barrier (150+ days) and cementing his reputation as a disruptor. Faati Ne? also made history as the first Gujarati film to feature Dolby Atmos sound and motion capture technology — a technical leap that signaled the end of regional cinema's infrastructure ceiling. Hashmi is now making his Bollywood debut with a high-concept sci-fi thriller called Cancer, starring Aahana Kumra and Sharib Hashmi.
As a screenwriter and director, Hashmi operates at the intersection of story and spectacle — each project scaled to push the medium forward. Born under Leo, his instinct toward visionary, high-stakes narratives aligns with the sign's drive for impact and innovation. Life path 5 energy: the restless experimenter who refuses to stay in one lane.
