Who I Am

Not in spite of those worlds colliding — because of them.

I’m Mak Singh — British Powerlifting Champion, Bollywood actor, former city councillor, business consultant, author, and filmmaker. Not in spite of those worlds colliding but because of them.

My journey began on a powerlifting platform in 1995. It moved through Bollywood film sets in 1997, into council chambers in 2016, boardrooms, and years of helping people close the gap between where they are and where they’re capable of being.

Along the way, I was honoured by the Wolverhampton Sports Council with the Special Person of the Year Award for promoting sport across the city, recognised as a BBC WM Unsung Hero finalist through nominations from my constituents, and later awarded Sports Coach of the Year in 2024.

In 2025, I had the opportunity to deadlift in front of one of my lifelong inspirations, Arnold Schwarzenegger — a full-circle moment from the young man who first dreamed beyond his circumstances.

Today, that journey continues through the books and scripts I write, the films I develop, and the stories I bring to life — work designed to inspire, entertain, and leave a lasting impact.

The common thread through every chapter of my life is simple: Greatness isn’t given. It’s earned.

And the right story, told at the right moment, can change everything.

About

About Mak Singh

A career spanning film, sport, business, politics, leadership, and storytelling — built on the belief that every chapter informs the next.

Mak Singh is a British author, screenwriter, director, producer, speaker, and transformation coach based in the United Kingdom. His career spans film, business, politics, leadership development, and public speaking — giving him a rare perspective that combines creativity, strategy, human psychology, and real-world execution.

British Powerlifting Champion 1995

Mak first gained national recognition after winning the British Powerlifting Championships in 1995. In 1997, he entered the entertainment industry after being discovered by filmmaker Gurinder Chadha and Bollywood actor/director Sunny Deol, leading to his acting debut in the Hindi-language feature film Dillagi, in which he portrayed the antagonist “Mac.”

Faith & Filmmaking

Before pursuing mainstream acting further, Mak stepped away from the entertainment industry to focus on his Christian faith and purpose-driven storytelling. During this period, he wrote, produced, and directed more than 30 short films centred on faith, transformation, identity, and hope.

Alongside his creative work, Mak built a successful career in business, leadership, and local government — serving as a Wolverhampton City Councillor between 2016 and 2023.

Today, Mak is focused on building internationally scalable film, television, and transformational education projects through iMak Films and Unlock Your Greatness.

Inspector Sharma

Feature Film · Comedy / Slapstick / Mystery

A cross-cultural crime comedy that blends British realism with Punjabi-Bollywood energy — delivering a story as entertaining as it is emotionally grounded.
GenreComedy
ToneSlapstick, warm, character-led
FormatFeature film
StatusScript complete

Senior Inspector Sharma is the first on the scene. All evidence suggests the driver to be the murderer — but the Inspector feels it is a family member who is the real culprit. He is convinced that the beautiful widower is the suspect, that she is hiding something. He protects her to get close, to investigate further. The driver is sent to jail, continuously protesting his innocence.

Things do not work out the way the Inspector wanted. The widower returns to the UK, and unfortunately, Inspector Sharma falls ill. He explains to his family that he feels injustice has taken place — that the driver is innocent — and that he believes it’s the businessman’s wife behind it.

The Inspector’s son, Jassie, offers to go to Birmingham in his place alongside his Uncle Mak — vowing to find out the truth. The family is surprised; Jassie had only previously shown interest in singing and comedy. Jassie flies to the UK, visits the family whose husband and father was murdered, and impersonates his father, Inspector Sharma.

During this time, Jassie falls in love with an English lady, and Mak falls in love with the businessman’s daughter. Finally, he solves the case and uncovers the true murderer.

A non-stop comedy.

God Does Exist

Feature Film · Drama / Romance / War

A post-war drama exploring survivor’s guilt, interfaith connection, and the moments that make us question whether our life was spared by chance — or for a reason.
GenreDrama, Romance, War
TonePsychological, spiritual, intimate
FormatFeature film
StatusScript complete

God Does Exist stands apart through its unique combination of post-war psychological realism, spiritual and existential questioning, interfaith human connection, and a deeply personal exploration of survivor’s guilt — examining the relationship between belief and doubt, and the emotional aftermath of returning home to loss.

Most importantly, the story avoids glorifying war. The conflict serves as the catalyst, not the focus. The true narrative is about what happens after survival — when a man is forced to confront whether his life was spared by chance or for a reason.

  • Post-war psychological realism
  • Spiritual and existential questioning
  • Interfaith human connection
  • A deeply personal exploration of survivor’s guilt
  • The relationship between belief and doubt
  • The emotional aftermath of returning home to loss

This places the film in a space between psychological drama, spiritual reflection, and intimate human storytelling.
