Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who has produced hit films like '3 Idiots' and 'Munna Bhai M.B.B.S', has now extended an interest-free repayable loan to emerging director Shlok Sharma.

Film Bazaar has played a significant role in the growth of cinema in recent years. On seeing that, Chopra, on behalf of Vinod Chopra Films and Rajkumar Hirani, extended an interest-free repayable loan of Rs 10 lakh to Sharma's film 'Haraamkhor', produced by Guneet Monga.

The initiative ensures that while funds are made available to deserving filmmakers, they are also responsible for returning the monies.
