Producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah expressed his excitement for his upcoming film Governor, which stars Manoj Bajpayee in the lead role. He compared the film's subject to the present oil crisis due to the West Asia conflict.

At the sidelines of an event organised by RSS, Vipul Shah shared the details of his movie. While talking to ANI, the producer said that the film is based on the oil crisis in 1990.

He said, "On June 12th, my film 'Governor' is being released, Manoj Bajpayee is in the lead role. In 1990, just like the atmosphere is today, the war between Iran and America, back then it was the war between Iraq and America. There was a shortage of oil in India then, and there is now. So, a true story of exactly the same environment that happened in 1990, and a story of how India was saved while almost becoming bankrupt. So, I am very excited and I feel that this film will get a lot of love from the people."

Presented by Sunshine Pictures and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, the film is directed by Marathi actor-filmmaker Chinmay Mandlekar.
