From Lucknow Theatre To Film Direction, Ali Abbas Brings Justice And Land Issues To Screen With BULLDOZER
*Lucknow.* Ali Abbas, who began his acting journey on the theatre stage in Lucknow, moved to Mumbai with the dream of making a career in acting. After nearly eight years of struggle in the film and television industry, family circumstances brought him back to Lucknow. When both of his father’s hips were fractured, Abbas took responsibility for his care. The situation affected his acting career, but he continued to remain connected with theatre, cinema and creative work.
While staying in Lucknow, Abbas followed the action being taken against land mafias in Uttar Pradesh and the use of bulldozers in such cases. The subject inspired him to write the story of his film *‘Bulldozer’*. In the film, Abbas has taken on the responsibilities of writer and director and also plays a negative character.
The film revolves around illegal occupation of land and the struggle for justice through the law. Its title itself raises a question: *Is the bulldozer a symbol of justice or oppression?* Rather than giving a direct answer, the film puts the question before the audience through its story and leaves viewers to form their own opinion.
*‘Bulldozer’ was released on October 2, 2026, on the Entertain TV YouTube channel.* The film features Vaanya Anand, Vishaal Anand, Ali Abbas, Neeraj Sharma, Nitin Chopra, Akash Srivastava and Rehan Mirza in prominent roles.
Ali Abbas has written and directed the film. The cinematography is by Sandeep Tiwari RG, while editing has been handled by Azmi Hussain. GL Production has worked on the dubbing. The film has been produced under the Entertain TV banner. Casting has been handled by Balaji Magic Studio Casting, while S.S. Fashion has taken care of the costumes.
For Abbas, ‘Bulldozer’ marks another step in a journey that began with theatre and has now moved towards writing and film direction. Through the film, he has attempted to bring a socially relevant subject to the screen while drawing from his own experiences and creative journey.
‘Bulldozer’ is available to watch on the Entertain TV YouTube channel.
