Mustajab Shelle (Urdu: مستجاب شیلے ) is an artist who has painted thousands of book covers for Hindi novels.[1] Shelle is an Amroha, India, based painter, whose original name is Mustajab Ahmad Siddiqui. He has learnt the art of painting from Eqbal Mehdi.
After a long career of painting cover pages for Hindi pulp fiction, Shelle turned to realist and abstract painting using water and oil medium.[2] In an attempt to bring back the tradition of using hand-painted film posters, director Alok Sharma has used Mustajab Shelle's hand-painted poster for his Sanjay Mishra, Anshuman Jha and Jaaved Jaaferi starrer short film Bullet Proof Anand. [3]
Shelle has participated in numerous exhibitions.
