Cinemaazi wishes Mehul Kumar a very happy birthday

A happy birthday to director and producer Mehul Kumar, who was born on 1 July, 1949. Starting off his career with a string of hits in Gujarati cinema in the 70s and 80s, he made the superhit Marte Dam Tak in 1987. This was followed by Asmaan Se Ooncha (1989), Nafrat Ki Andhi (1989) and Jung Baaz (1989), before hitting gold with two more block busters in Tirangaa (1993) and the Filmfare Award winning Krantiveer (1994). For his portrayal of the cynical young man turned revolutionary, Nana Patekar won the National Award. He continued making action films like Lahu Ke Do Rang (1997) and the ABCL box office bomb Mrityudata (1997). He decreased his activity in the 2000s, making only three more films. In 2013 he was arrested in a case of misappropriation of funds.
