I have been invested in A2Z since long following Junjunwala and incurred
heavy losses. However, recently I have entered again heavily following a
recent recommendation by Shakar Sharma.

Let us not go by past performance since that is very poor. Let us keep
watch on current quarterly results which indicate a possible turn around.

The company was doing outstandingly well till 2011 after than something went wrong, any idea what is it ?

This stock is touching the lower circuit and subsequently hitting the upper circuit in the next couple of days. Essentially this is a trading stock. No more value left in company.
