Pakistani cinema is on a roll, with new movies coming up. Sahir Lodhi’s upcoming movie Raasta released its official teaser and it looks like a promising venture, in terms of a new type of movie for the contemporary cinema.
The action-packed video gives us a glimpse of the violence, blood-shed and romance in the film. Sahir is not only starring in the film – he has written the screenplay and dialogues, and has co-produced as well as co-directed Raasta.
Besides Sahir, the action thriller stars Shamoon Abbasi, Naveed Raza, Aijaz Aslam, Sana Fakhr, Abeer Rizvi and Saima Azhar.
The teaser begins with Sahir’s voice saying, ”Duniya mein do tarah ke log hote hain – aik meri tarah, aik tumhari tarah, aur mujhe dono se nafrat hai.”
He continues with the reminder rather a warning: “Mohabbat aur jung mein sab jayaz hai.”
