The first trailer of Project Ghazi – the first ever superhero film made by Pakistan’s film industry– has been launched in a star-studded ceremony in Karachi lately.
ProjectGhazi is directed by Nadir H. Shah and produced by Syed Mohammad Ali Raza. The action sci-fi has been completely shot in Pakistan and stars Sheheryar Munawar, Syra Shehroz & Humayun Saeed in pivotal roles. Background score has been composed by Taurees Habib, who has been part of the music team in Hollywood film & television productions like Interstellar, Batman vs Superman, Man of Steel (Superman) to name a few.
“I am honoured to have worked with a team of extremely talented individuals who have put their all in the movie.” shared Syed Mohammad Ali Raza, Producer of the movie.
“It’s a unique genre for Pakistan and could open doors for new and unexplored stories to reach audiences.” said Nadir H. Shah, Director of Project Ghazi.
Syra Shehroze spoke of the luck that she has been experiencing ever since she joined the film industry, “Very early on in my career, I have managed to score my dream project. So, I’m really honoured to be a part of it,” said the actor. “The film’s idea and the theme was so different that it was a joy to work on the project.”
When asked what made him sign up for Project Ghazi Sheheryar Munawar said,“What made me come onboard was Project Ghazi’s idea of nationalism without hatred or negativity against any other country. “We play superheroes on the screen but Ali and Nadir are the real superheroes behind the camera,” he added.
Humayun confessed that he was one of the last members to join in, “It was unusual…I usually produce my films and cast myself in them first,” he joked. “A lot of actors feel insecure. And they fear that film-makers will misuse them and they will be relegated to small roles. Project Ghazi had no such issues and it was a pleasure to be a part of it,” he added.
Project Ghazi will be hitting cinemas all across Pakistan on July 14th, 2017. Watch the full trailer here,
