starring Amna Ilyaas, Naseeruddin Shah and a number of new faces
**Zinda Bhaag revolves around the lives of three friends and aims to shed light on the issue of illegal immigration and the intense drama associated with it through their stories. “We had heard these stories from our friends and relatives and were fascinated by the real life dramas involved,” says one of the directors.
The directors assert that the film is open to interpretation, considering how relatable the story is to the reality of life. “The reality of Pakistani youth today includes the visions of a luxurious life but very few opportunities. The result is sheer desperation, which leads to extreme measures. The film questions if and why the steps taken by young people, or their families, are always in their best interest.” “Even the title can be interpreted in many ways because the word ‘bhaag’ can mean ‘to run’ or ‘destiny’,” add both of them.
