One of the most anticipated biopics of all time Baaghi, based on the life and killing of social media sensation Qandeel Baloch is finally here and it would be an understatement to say that we are intrigued!

Qandeel's character will be portrayed by none other than Saba Qamar, who is known for essaying bold and daring characters.

The 14-second clip showed us few glimpses of Sarmad Khoosat, who will be seen in the role of Qandeel's brother and Ali Kazmi, who seems to be playing the role of the estranged husband of the murdered social media star.

Baaghi: why did I write Qandeel Baloch’s story?

The teaser also showcases the transition of the Lahore Se Aagay star's character from a girl, hailing from a village to the sultry, notorious internet sensation.

Watch the video here:



Writing for The Express Tribune, he writer of the forbidden tale, Baaghi, Shazia Khan pens down, "Quite frankly, I’ve been stumped by this question. While writing, I never thought why I’m writing it, that answer has always been a given: hers is a story that screams to be told. A small town, barely-educated girl with ‘grand’ dreams of supporting her family dared take a step outside her house. Dared. Now she’s a cautionary tale."

Saba Qamar, Osman Khalid Butt and Khalid Malik all set for Qandeel Baloch's biopic

She further added, "My serial is about that transformation. The conversion of a poor, uneducated girl Fauzia Azeem into seduction artist, Qandeel Baloch. It is about the men who slammed all doors of dignified living to her. Men, who forced her to exist on her charms alone. Men, who feverishly slammed her after having finished watching her latest video on Instagram. It is about the women who called her even worse names, and never stopped to think what if circumstances placed them in her position."





Baaghi comprises Saba, Osman Khalid Butt, Khalid Malik, Ali Kazmi and Sarmad Khoosat in titular roles.
