Warner Bros. to release Pakistan’s first film ‘Waar’

[Pak123]

LAHORE: Pakistan’s director Bilal Lashari has shot his first full-length feature film called Waar, in collaboration with ISPR. The film has been produced by MindWorks Media with Hunt Lowry, producer of “Donnie Darko” and Warner Bros.’s smash hit “A Walk to Remember” and numerous other well known films.

Waar (to strike) is an action/thriller and drama film, written by Hassan Waqas Rana and stars Pakistan’s actors, Shaan Shahid and Shamoon Abbasi.

The storyline has been inspired by the war on terror in Pakistan and its effects on the world but with a very stylised interpretation of it.

The English-language film (Waar) has been shot at various locations in and outside of Pakistan, from the beautiful hills of Islamabad to the second best tourist destination in Pakistan, Lahore to the fascinating valley of Swat (the Switzerland of Pakistan), where a major military operation was launched two years ago.

The estimated film budget is $2,000,000 (PKR 170M or 17 Crores). The film being produced by one of the major film studios in America, Warner Bros, will be first screened at some major international film festivals and after its successful screening at the festivals, it will be released worldwide.

The 140 min feature film is currently in it’s post-production stage. Waar is expected to have a summer release.

If I was a world famous director then I would make a film which is kind of like the Bourne series but in a Pakistani context, except that in it, it is about one of the mujahideen leaders during the Soviet Afghan war who has close ties to the ISI, but then becomes a most wanted terrorist after 9/11, when Pakistan is fighting the Taliban, after which he goes into hiding and targets the people within the ISI who have caused him trouble.
This would be a great idea for a movie however I don't think the Army and ISPR would support this because they may interpret it as defaming the army and ISI and for accusing it of supporting terrorism.

I think it'd be a great concept for a movie though, unless there's something in the Pakistani cinema like this which has already been made......
