Vasan Bala has directed Chandan Roy Sanyal and Anil Kapoor's son Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor in one of the short films in the anthology Ray, based on short stories written by legendary filmmaker Satyajit Ray. The anthology will be released on Netflix.

“The film is titled Spotlight," Sanyal revealed. "We have completed shooting. Right now, it’s being edited.”

Spotlight is Bala’s first directorial venture after the acclaimed action comedy Mard Ko Dard Nahin Hota (2019), which launched yesteryear actress Bhagyashree's son Abhimanyu Dassani.

Sanyal has another major film lined up in Sanak in which he plays a negative character. Directed by Kanishk Verma, the film has Vidyut Jammwal in the lead.

Sanyal said he isn’t playing a run-of-the-mill villain in the film. “I have tried something different. I have done a lot of action in that film with Vidyut. Generally, villains are dramatic but in this one I have full filmi action with Vidyut. I trained myself for the action scenes,” he said.
