The first poster of the film, Chaudhry - The Martyr based on martyred SSP Chaudhry Aslam, who had rendered his services to the police, has been released.
Aslam, a brave officer of the police department, was considered a symbol of fear for the terrorists. Announcing war against the terrorists even after an attack on his home testifies his gallantry.
The film will shed light from his early life and career to embracing martyrdom.
