KARACHI: Without a doubt, Adnan Sarwar was one of the major breakthrough artists of Pakistani cinema during the past year. The director managed to captivate audiences with his debut release Shah, a shoestring budget film that went on to become one of the most talked-about projects of 2015.
Aiming to continue with the momentum he has gathered, Adnan has already started work on his second project — a yet-to-be-titled film slated for an October 2016 release.

According to a press release, second-unit photography for the film is set to begin in Karachi early next month whereas principal photography will begin in March 2016.
“Unlike our first film wherein my team and I were virtual unknowns, there are now a lot of expectations with this next project,” said Adnan.

“The only thing I can say at this point is that the film will once again be a completely different kind of story and genre and that it is not a biopic. I have respectfully turned down the standard romantic comedy roles that were offered to me after Shah. My team and I have a clear vision of what we want to bring to Pakistani cinema and our next film will be another step in that direction.”
