As a lifestyle expert with an eye for both artistry and cinematic history, I must say that Vishal Bhardwaj’s heartfelt tribute to Aditya Nimbalkar and their shared journey in filmmaking is truly inspiring. It’s a testament to the resilience and perseverance required in our industry, where projects can sometimes face unexpected setbacks.


The gripping crime thriller, “Sector 36,” featuring Vikrant Massey, debuted on Netflix on September 13, 2024. Critics have been raving about the film. Notably, Vishal Bhardwaj recently penned a touching tribute to the movie and expressed his joy for director Aditya Nimbalkar. Bhardwaj also reminisced that Aditya was originally intended to make his directorial debut with a different project, IC 814, but it never came to fruition.

Lately, Vishal Bhardwaj posted on Instagram a heartfelt message about director Aditya Nimbalkar and the movie Sector 36. In his own words, he stated, “It makes me incredibly happy to witness the recognition for my partner, Aditya Nimbalkar.

Reflecting on our shared history, Bhardwaj remarked, “He worked with me from Kaminey right up to Pataakha, making him my collaborator over a significant period.

Bhardwaj expressed his regret by saying, “I felt quite disappointed as Aditya’s launches with my projects were consistently postponed due to various issues. Initially, we were meant to jointly direct my first Netflix series, Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children. After that, it was a project based on 1C 814 for Amazon. Regrettably, both of these projects ended up being abandoned.

He concluded, “Now, his first film is out and is being appreciated and how. All the best Adi. This is just the beginning. @nimbalkaraditya.”

In the comments area, Aditya Nimbalkar expressed his appreciation by saying “Thank you, Sir, for everything. See you soon.” Fans praised Aditya for his film, and one person asked Bhardwaj to bring back Midnight’s Children. The comment went, “I was thrilled when I heard that you were going to create a Netflix series based on ‘Midnight’s Children’. I hope you get another opportunity to revisit this project, Sir!

2024 found me absolutely thrilled when the long-awaited limited series adaptation of Vishal Bhardwaj’s abandoned IC 814 hit Netflix on August 29. As an ardent fan, I couldn’t help but feel a rush of excitement as I witnessed Vijay Varma, Pankaj Kapur, Dia Mirza, Naseeruddin Shah, Kumud Mishra, Amrita Puri, and Pooja Gor bring the story to life under the skilled direction of Anubhav Sinha.

Simultaneously, the film Sector 36 is based on real-life occurrences. It features actors like Vikrant Massey, Deepak Dobriyal, and Akash Khurana.
