It seems like Pakistani filmmakers are taking full advantage of the Indian films being banned in Pakistan. It was last week when the news came trickling along about Shoaib Mansoor’s new venture with Mahira Khan and now Ahsan Rahim, the famous TVC director and man behind those funny Ufone ads and more, has announced his debut film with the Pakistani heart-throb Ali Zafar.
We told you they were coming together for a film project back in 2014, and now here it is. Ahsan Rahim is a well-known name in the field of direction with some ever green music productions such as Preeto, Dosti, Sajania and Laga Re. The last time this duo was professionally together for Ali’s music video Aag from his album Masti.
The genre of the movie is said to be an action-comedy and while talking to Express Tribune, Ahsan Rahim said, “I always wanted to make an action comedy as the genre excites me and I believe it is unexplored in the Pakistani market. We plan to take it on floor beginning of next year to release it next year.”
Upon asking about the leading lady opposite Ali Zafar, Rahim said that is not yet decided. However, Faisal Qureshi (the comic actor) is also part of the team.
Talking about the film, Ali Zafar said, “It’s going to be a completely crazy project, I don’t want it to be any other way, I love doing things that sound crazy to me, different, even when reading a script, I look for the peculiar twists in it aside from the usual everyday hero-met-heroine love story.”
Ali whose performance has already made him a stand out in Bollywood is now getting ready to take Pakistani cinema by storm. We wish both Ali and Ahsan all the best for their film which has got us all excited!
