Indo-Pak movie set for release
The debut movie of Indian actress Nausheen Ali Sardar, who rose to fame through the character Kkusum she played in a TV soap, is set for release in Pakistan today and the United Kingdom a day later.
The film Mein Aik Din Laut Ke Aoonga has famous Pakistan actor Humayun Saeed in male lead opposite Nausheen Sardar. Directed by Javed Fazil and produced by Shoaib Alam, the entire movie was filmed in India. It also stars Indian actress Pooja Kanwal.
The musical score of the film was made by renowned Pakistani singer Jawad Ahmed, who has also paired with legendary Indian songstress Asha Bhosle in a few songs.
"I am proud of having worked in a Pakistani movie. It will bridge the cultural gap between India and Pakistan," said Nausheen Sardar at the movie's premiere at a local hotel.
She said it was 'wonderful' to work with a Pakistani director and actors. Pooja Kanwal called for more of such movies that involve cast and crew from both India and Pakistan to bring the two countries closer. She said she felt as if she was working with people from her own country.
Speaking on the occasion, Humayun Saeed commented on the vast difference in the film scenario in Pakistan and India. He said the sets used in the movie were well designed and more realistic unlike the ones used here conventionally.
The movie had a more refined look and a better finish, he said, adding that if it had been filmed in Pakistan, the end-product would not have been so sophisticated.
When asked if the film would be launched in India as well, director Javed Fazil said since no trends as to the success or failure of this kind of movie are available, he was still considering whether or not it would be a profitable move.
Producer Shoaib Alam said he had stepped into the field of production with extensive planning and it would serve to effectively tackle the crisis that had clutched the local film industry.
Jawad Ahmed also spoke on the occasion and hoped that the cine-goers would like the music of the movie.
