Sarmad Khoosat recently dropped the trailer of his upcoming film Zindagi Tamasha and wowed the audience. The trailer offered an insight into the film, bringing across a myriad of emotions. Zindagi Tamasha came across as a film that would depict the dark secrets and double faced nature of this society and how it shuns the ones it condemns.
The film starring Arif Hasan, Samiya Mumtaz and Eman Suleman in pivotal roles is slated to release in Pakistan soon. However, before it can release all over in the country, Zindagi Tamasha, was slated to premiere at the Busan International Film Festival. And now, as news has it, it has also been nominated for an award as well.
Sarmad Khoosat himself shared the news that Zindagi Tamasha, had been nominated for the Kim Jeosuk Award at the BIFF, even before its screening. The director, who will also be having a cameo role in the film, took to his Twitter to make the announcement.
