I think I have mentioned this film ‘Tamanna’ before which stars Salman Shahid and Feryal Gauhar amongst others. Film is to be directed by British director Steven Moore and is about *“a famous film director named Shehreyar (played by Shahid), who is fond of playing games, inviting a man named Riz (Hameed Sheikh) to his house. The plot develops into a feud between these two characters, who fight over a woman in a story which deals with love, adultery, robbery and murder”

Sounds refreshing :k:
Must be something special that made even Feryal Gauhar return to acting.
I am keeping my fingers crossed. This one sounds promising – let’s hope it brings good economic returns for all concerned so more people can be motivated to make similar (and what I hope would be) good quality, path breaking cinema.
Also, Feryal Gohar starred in “Zar Gul” which def deserves to be released in the theatres. She’s a fine actress.
As per the grapevine, Salman Peerzada did try to push for a release for “Zar Gul” recently but it’s gotten in trouble with the censors for its depiction of corruption in police force and for its honest portrayal of the feudal/political class.
The theme of the film is very subversive, anti-authority, so there’s little surprise there. The Pakistani censors have once again proven their effectiveness in curtailing creativity in cinema – though they have NO issues letting pathetic cinema from Bombay into the theatres. Another reason why local film makers hesitate to make movies – even if they end up making something worthwhile, they stand to lose their massive investment if the censors aren’t happy.
