After the successes of a daring ‘Batti’ and a surreal ‘Nairay Aa’, Overload has released its new video ‘Ankahi’ produced and directed by the band’s drummer/singer Farhad Humayun. The lyrics, written by Tahir Shaheer are sung by Farhad to an eminently hummable sound track by Sheraz Siddiq. ’Ankahi was shot on the RED ONE camera over three grueling days and nights by Sabeeh Khan (Director of Photography). Although Overload is not a political band, it believes that negativity and many taboos need to be eliminated in order for people to attain peace, success and glory. This video holds a mirror to Pakistan- highlighting the widening fault lines of modern day Pakistan. With a cast and crew numbering a staggering 120 members, the video stars veterans of film, TV and dance. Nadeem in his first music video appearance, along with Navid Shahzad and Nighat Choudry celebrate the human spirit’s capacity to face all odds. Post Production detailing is rendered by Hassaan Ashraf with the assistance of Farhad and Navid Shahzad stepping in as Line Producer.
