And he jumped right in, emerging as a director and writer with a unique voice that reverberates through his projects. And as we’ve seen with ‘Human’, he’s not afraid of tackling tough subjects. Mozez is also a powerful voice for the LGBTQ+ community and is known for effervescently living life on his terms. We caught up with him for a quick peek into his journey. Despite coming from a very prominent business family – Ranbaxy – what made you decide to pursue a career as a director? Being in the film industry is something that I’ve always wanted to pursue and the turning point for me came after boarding school. I went to America where I studied Political Science and English. I finished college in Boston and moved to New York, and at that time I was looking for a job. At first, I applied for all the jobs that I didn’t want to pursue like investment banking and ultimately I thought to myself, ‘Why am I doing this?’ That’s when I called my father and told him that I didn’t want to be a part of the family business. I wanted to work independently and in showbiz. My father asked me how I was going to go about being in an industry that the family wasn’t involved with professionally, but at the same time, my parents were so amazingly supportive and encouraging that it propelled me to follow my path. I’m so blessed and lucky that in this lifetime I got to find one thing I truly love, my job. You are known for being the ‘best dressed’; what does that mean to you?

On the one-year anniversary of 'Human', Singh said he was thrilled when Vipul Shah approached him to make a feature film on human drug trials in 2019 but the desire to explore the subject in depth later lent itself to a series format.
"He initially offered me a film script on the world of human drug trials. As soon as I read the script, my mind started wandering in different directions. The subject was very interesting and we could do a lot more with it but I needed more time.
"I looped in my co-writer Ishani Banerjee to ideate with me and then we came back with the story of what is now the show 'Human'," the director told PTI in an interview.
Known for Vicky Kaushal-led 2016 film 'Zubaan', Singh said the team did extensive groundwork and research on the subject of human drug trials and realised the epicentre of this menace is Madhya Pradesh, where the show is set.
In order to present an authentic take on the subject, the team met researchers, doctors, brain specialists, and heart specialists among others.
"We had consulting doctors on board, who were constantly advising us on the right medical information for the show.
"We had surgeons helping us, we got a lot of support from the medical world, humanitarian world from Bhopal for six to seven months even before we started writing," Singh added.
'Human' is narrated through the eyes o Mozez Singh: “One of the most exhausting things I’ve done or someone else can do is not be themselves!”
