After the launch of the very successful Tarang Telefilms which created waves amongst the audiences, a new trend has now emerged. Producers are focusing more on making movies now that they know that audiences are willing to watch quality movies. Humayun Saeed’s production house made the initiative of making the very first grand budget movie ‘Main Hoon Shahid Afridi’, which will be released very soon. It has also been heard that Sultana Siddiqui is now ready to get her hands into filmmaking and has been searching for a female lead for her movie. The male lead which was previously rumored to be Fawad Khan, has now been finalized and it is none other than Humayun Saeed.
Now following this trend, the dramas are also going to the movie way. It has been in the news that there are two shows which will first be released as movies and then their drama would also be launched.
MANTO:
The first in the list is Sarmat Khoosat’s tentatively titled show ‘Manto’, which has been in the news for quite some time now. Many plays have been written about Saadat Hassan Manto a very famous writer of his time, but this will be the first movie made on him.
The story will focus on Saadat Manto’s life after partition and the events that followed. Sarmad has revealed that “This is not going to be an overtly political film, but it will involve a commentary of some of the things occurring at the time,” he continues, “When I came across the project, I felt he needed to have a film.”
BIN ROYE AANSOO:
The second show that would first be released as a movie and then dramatized is the very hyped and popular show, ‘Bin Roye Aansoo’. It has gained immense popularity and publicity in its pre-production stage. From the moment the cast has been announced on the writer Farhat Ishtiaq’s official page on Facebook, it has captured the interest of all the viewers.
The shooting of the movie is at full speed at the moment and the movie will release around February/March 2014. Mahira Khan fans are waiting to see her back on screen after more than a year. I am sure this movie is definitely work looking forward to!
