Writer and Director Viral Shah tells us the entire story about how ‘’Midnights with Menka’’ originally 5 episodic web series with multi tracking got made into a Gujarati language feature film. Viral said, ‘’I remember having met Malhar in Ahmedabad along with my co-writer to develop and write the story having the main idea of creating a regional language Gujarati web series. Web series in regional language is an unexplored space as it had never been done before. I mainly wanted to create a script for producing the web series but had no plans of directing it. Later with the entire story for digital web series ready , I took the same script for pitching it to producers who told me that the way I had thought and conceptualized the complete story is very amazing and felt that I was the apt choice for directing and conveying the story on the screen. After much convincing, I got okay with the idea of directing it and that’s when I met the producers of the film who showed good interest in the script and had lots of hope with it. Slowly the principal star cast comprising Hardik Sangani, Esha Kansara and Vinita Mahesh were cast in the film and hey presto,  “Midnights with Menka’’ got made into a regional Gujarati language feature film.
