Clad in a warrior attire, Sanam Saeed slays in first look of 'Umro Ayyar – A New Beginning'

Renowned actor Sanam Saeed has unveiled the first look from her upcoming film Umro Ayyar – A New Beginning on Instagram. Unveiling her character for fans, Sanam shared a poster of herself in a completely new avatar, dressed up as a warrior complete with wrist gauntlets, arm wraps, a leather waist cincher and a weapon.

Saeed’s character carries a fierce look as she stares directly into the camera, with her hair tied back and minimal makeup. She proudly wears a bruise mark on her forehead and looks ready to slay. Saeed captioned the post, “…while one paves the way for faith among us.”

Thrilled for her next performance, many commented on her look. “Damn girl!” exclaimed Saira Yousuf in the comments section. “Wow!” shared Frieha Altaf with a fire emoji. Sarwat dropped two fire emojis and a heart, while Ali Kazmi, who’s also part of Umro Ayyar, wrote, “Let’s go!”

In a first, Umro Ayyar, which is touted to be Pakistan’s first Urdu comic book, has been turned into a film. Teaser for the movie slated to release this year came out in November. The 49-second-clip revealed the title of the project with intense music. The film features an ensemble cast including Saeed, Usman Mukhtar, Faran Tahir, Ali Kazmi, Adnan Siddiqui, Simi Raheal, Sana Fakhar, Manzar Sehbai, others.

The intriguing novels of Umro Ayyar and his magical journey were must-haves for every 90s kid. While PTV gets credit for breathing life into its characters through its majestic series, Ainak Wala Jin, director Azfar Jafri is to be credited for reviving this marvelous hero to give it its due recognition.

No release date for the project has been announced so far.
