LAHORE:
Award-winning actor Mohib Mirza is set to hit silver-screens across Pakistan and India as ‘Vicky’ in Nasir Khan’s romantic thriller, Bachaana in a brand new avatar. The character of Vicky is a departure from the actor’s previous work, having garnered significant acclaim for his comedic and action oriented roles in the past.
Mohib Mirza said,“Working on an Indo/Pak themed script like Baachana has been an incredible experience. The time has come to translate our small screen successes to the silver screen”.
“Bachaana is everything that a pure commercial romantic comedy film is meant to be. It’s got entertaining comedy, nail-biting crises and heart- touching romance for the audience to stay gripped. Topped with the scenic landscape and beautiful beaches of Mauritius, Bachaana delivers a larger-than-life cinematic entertainment that my viewers have eagerly been waiting for.”
Bachaana is the first feature film of Nasir Khan as a director, who has gained prominence for his work presented at the Mumbai International Film Festival for his documentary “Made in Pakistan”.
With cast and crew from both Pakistan and India, making acquaintance with each other for the first time on the set, the film has truly captures cross-boundary relations on and off screen. Filmed in Mauritius, the production team conducted the largest talent hunt to find actors in the neutral landscape. With eye-catching scenery, music composed by top Pakistani talent, and a new-take on Indo-Pak relations, the movie is set to cause a stir.
Bachaana is a journey of a sweet and bubbly Indian girl, Aalia, played by Sanam Saeed, who undergoes a series of unfortunate events and is forced to place her faith in a man she hardly knows. That man, Vicky (MohibMirza) is a Pakistani driving a taxi in Mauritius. Bachaana follows the couple’s adventurous journey of love.
Produced by Rizwan Saeed, well-known locally and internationally for his technical achievements in film production, Bachaana is one of the most technologically shot films in Pakistan and India.
