Lollywood beauty Nargis is set to mark a comeback in the industry, this time by producing a film by the name of ‘Dushman Rani’, which was formerly titled Daku Rani. The film-stage actor will also star in the film and has employed a rigorous workout routine to get in shape for the role.
Nargis, who had moved to Canada, felt that, with the film industry heading towards revival, it’s the right time to go back to Pakistan. “All those who are a part of Lollywood should play their part by producing good films,” she says. “I stopped working and came to Canada due to domestic reasons, but I always thought about the crisis in Lollywood and now, I will continuously focus on my film career,” she adds.
Pervaiz shared Nargis is excited about the film, which she had been planning for the last three years. “Nargis’ look will be like that of a 16-year-old girl as she has been doing special exercises for the film. We will make this film for both multiplex and single-screen viewers and I’m hopeful that it will be a real step towards the revival of Pakistani cinema.”
Pervaiz, who has been associated with film direction for the last 45 years, shares that the film will stand out are its direction, storyline due to the appearance of Nargis. “The special thing about the film would be that Nargis will star as Dushman Rani and Punjabi film-viewers and fans of Nargis will see a different her in the movie,” he states.
He further says, “It will be the first Pakistani Punjabi film, which will be shot with red camera and modern technology for both pre- and post-production. It will be an action film and the film’s story will revolve around our society, but its pattern and subject will be interesting.” He contested the idea that there is no scope for Pakistani films and claimed that when Daku Rani is put forth in the market, cinema-owners would themselves approach his team to screen the film.
