Nabeel Qureshi and Fizza Ali Meerza, the director and producer of Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad, recently took to Twitter and shared some BTS of their latest offering. The Mahira Khan and Fahad Mustafa-starrer is one of the most-anticipated films of the year. 

The filmmakers shared a video compilation on their account giving fans an exclusive look into what the production of the film's much-awaited action-packed scenes truly looks like. “Wanna know what went on behind this action-packed movie? Presenting a fun, behind-the-scenes compilation of action scenes,” they captioned the video.

The video served the purpose of giving fans an insight into the reality of filming action scenes and the dangers that accompany this. The video begins with two witty remarks made by the film's assistant directors quoted on screen. “If making a film is equal to climbing a mountain… then the mountain in the making of an action film has to be the Rakaposhi range,” quipped the 3rd assistant director. To this, the 4th assistant director responded, “Rakaposhi nahi bhai! K2 bolo! K2 zyaada khatarnak hai.” (Not Rakaposhi! Say K2! K2 is more dangerous)."

These two quotes set the tone for the rest of the video which features several wholesome yet dangerous filming moments. From stunt doubles hanging in mid-air and breaking bottles on heads to bullets flying around and explosions happening in the background, each action scene’s making is shown as a complete team effort. 

The producer, Fizza, was also featured in the video stating, “What’s important for me is that when the audience watches these scenes, they should not see the pain we went through (while filming). But yes, they should be able to see that this is made with the utmost effort which is why it is so flawless.” 

The trailer for Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad was recently released and left netizens waiting with bated breaths to watch the movie. The trailer features several action-packed scenes that are a product of VFX and brilliant cinematography as well as commendable filmmaking. 

Amid flying bullets and a lot of running, Gulabo (Fahad) and Sweety (Mahira) find themselves in a pickle when the former lands a hefty number of fake notes after a bust.  Enter Nayyer Ejaz, who is hell-bent on making the protagonists’ lives miserable, the situation takes a turn for worse and Gulabo finds it impossible to solve his latest predicament. But with an ample amount of VFX and brilliant cinematography, coupled with praise-worthy filmmaking, Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad looks like a complete package.

The film is set to be released in cinemas on Eid-ul-Adha.
