Filmmaker Vipul Amrutlal Shah is all set to make a comeback in the thriller genre after nearly two decades. He will be helming a web series titled Humans based on human drug testing that would unravel the shades of grey, risk-taking measures, loopholes and disparity in our bid to develop the vaccine. The show is penned by Mozez Singh and Ishani Banerjee and is likely to go on floors at the end of this year.

Talking about the same, a statement read as "Humans will mark Vipul sir’s return to the thriller genre after the success of Aankhen (2002). He is quite excited and confident about the show, surprisingly more so because, he has no connection with the medical world. He has been researching on the subject since the last 2-3 years and has got a panel of doctors and researchers to help him figure out the huge underbelly of the medical fraternity who develop these kinds of drugs and vaccines tested on humans."

It further read as "Considering the current pandemic scenario and the constant efforts by the medical research team across the world to develop a vaccine, the subject of human drug testing is quite relatable. Since it’s a very sensitive subject, Vipul sir wants to leave no stone unturned in the writing department and so he has been gathering as much information as possible to make the show an eye-opener."

While a team member said, "Humans is a show about human drug testing. In today’s world, the vaccines and new medicines are needed daily but what all happens creating them is one of the biggest scams in the world. Humans will try to shed light on the scam affecting thousands of human lives during this process."

Vipul will be roping in two female actors to play the lead on the show.
