LAHORE: Pakistan's director Bilal Lashari has shot his first full-length feature film called Waar, in collaboration with ISPR. The film has been produced by MindWorks Media with Hunt Lowry, producer of "Donnie Darko" and Warner Bros.'s smash hit "A Walk to Remember" and numerous other well known films.
Waar (to strike) is an action/thriller and drama film, written by Hassan Waqas Rana and stars Pakistan's actors, Shaan Shahid and Shamoon Abbasi.
The storyline has been inspired by the war on terror in Pakistan and its effects on the world but with a very stylised interpretation of it.
The English-language film (Waar) has been shot at various locations in and outside of Pakistan, from the beautiful hills of Islamabad to the second best tourist destination in Pakistan, Lahore to the fascinating valley of Swat (the Switzerland of Pakistan), where a major military operation was launched two years ago.
The estimated film budget is $2,000,000 (PKR 170M or 17 Crores). The film being produced by one of the major film studios in America, Warner Bros, will be first screened at some major international film festivals and after its successful screening at the festivals, it will be released worldwide.
The 140 min feature film is currently in it's post-production stage. Waar is expected to have a summer release.
