Filmmaker Vipul Amrutlal Shah recently made a candid appearance at The Comedy Factory’s Lavari show, where he opened up about the making of his 2002 thriller Aankhen and revealed that the film actually had two different endings. The conversation took a humorous turn when host Chirayu Mistry admitted he had watched the alternate ending through a pirated copy on YouTube, prompting Shah to joke that he might have to take action against the piracy of his own film.
