The TV actor will be now be seen directing a completely fresh romantic comedy for Shah, a statement issued here said.
"If we go by the record, many successful Bollywood directors like Imtiaz Ali, Anurag Basu, Anand Rai hail from the TV industry. In fact, even Vipul Shah who is giving Deven a break is also from the TV industry. We are very happy to have him on board to direct his very first film," it added.
