• Commando is his third film as a producer. He has earlier produced another action film Force. I think the reason to make this film was that we thought we will do something in action that has never been done in India," he said.
• Commando is the story of an Indian Army officer, who during a training session gets inside Chinese Border by mistake.
• Vipul believes the biggest challenge in making an action film is that the audience have stereotypical expectations from this genre.

• Besides Commando, Vipul is producing a film which will be directed by A R Murugadoss with Akshay Kumar in the lead.
