Vipul Shah is a known Bollywood filmmaker and producer, who has backed many successful films like The Kerala Story, Bastar: The Naxal Story and the Commando franchise.

He travelled the world to gain more knowledge about his field and in 2006, he founded his own action film team, Mag Fighters and began to shoot, direct, produce, choreograph, edit and whatnot. His skills in creating such content grabbed attention and he made his way to join the film business in Germany.

Andy Long has worked with Jackie Chan as a JC Stunt Team member on films like Chinese Zodiac, Police Story: Lockdown and Dragon Blade.

Vipul Shah and Andy Long have collaborated on many films like Commando: A One Man Army, Commando 2: The Black Money Trail, Commando 3, and Sanak. The high-octane and intense action sequences and thought-provoking narrative were immense.
