Abbas Burmawalla, Mustan Burmawalla, and their brother Hussain Burmawalla are from Surat in Gujarat state. They began their career with Gujarati films. They joined Sultan Ahmed as assistant director who was directing the movie Ganga Ki Saugandh (1978). They later joined as assistant director with Govindbhai Patel to do several films. When Patel refused an opportunity to direct Gujarati film Sajan Tara Sambharana (1985), Abbas–Mustan received their first break to direct the movie, launching their career.

Their first Hindi movie as directors was Agneekaal in 1990.[3] Since then, they have directed more than 14 Hindi movies. They eventually launched their own production house called Burmawalla Partners.^{[citation needed]}
