KOMAL RIZVI'S BIG ANNOUNCEMENT
Karachi,
September 24, 2016: For
the first time in the history of Pakistan a Pakistani actor will be playing the
title role in a Hollywood movie. Komal Rizvi, the versatile singer, actor and
queen of Sufi-pop will be playing the character Afreen in the movie Afreen.
This is a huge achievement for not only Rizvi but for Pakistan.
The
narrative film medium is among the best vehicles for exploring such an issue,
and that is just what Afreen intends to accomplish. Through the lens of a
fictional, speculative, yet a realistic cinematic tale, viewers will be exposed
to the uncomfortable truth about the roots of extremism - the perfect recipes for
Islamic radicalization; the harsh realities of foreign policy blowback; and the
devastating personal costs of revenge.
Afreen is a hard-hitting, unconventional thriller and gut-wrenching drama that our current times demand. Equally unsparing in its brutality and hopeful in its search for redemption, the film aims to provoke stirring thoughts and challenging discussions about how each of us views the world and its people.
Principal photography of Afreen is all set to begin in October 2016, in Ontario, Canada which serves as the setting for the film. The movie is being spearheaded by veteran Bollywood producer and director Aashish Chanana. The story is a gripping thriller set in the tense climate of today and the world shaken by terrorism and the film focuses on the struggles of Afreen, an Iraqi refugee and her trauma, her past identity and her new life.
The movie's teaser shared by Lets Make A Movie, a subsidiary of Media Factory Inc. the makers of Afreen is already creating waves and we are confident that Komal Rizvi's performance is going to mark her entry into the Oscars!
We wish her and Afreen the Best of Luck!!!
