    After teasing us for like forever, Shaan has revealed that his action-thriller Zarrar will finally hit the screens in 2020. According to our research, the film was supposed to hit the screens in 2017 and then August 2019 but kept delaying for one reason or another.

    The film has been written and directed by Shaan, who also plays the lead role in the film. The action-thriller also features Kiran Malik, Nadeem Baig and Adnan Butt among others.

    According to Shaan, Zarrar is based on 90% true events and captures fifth generation warfare and other threats that should be highlighted in mainstream media but are ignored.

    He also added that Zarrar shows a patriotic man who loves his country and wants to eliminate those elements which facilitate terrorists and terrorism in the country.

    “It’s like a Bond Film with a true story. Not a fauji sort like we have been seeing on our screens in past. It’s not like Waar or Yalghar. It’s a new breed of a spy thriller action genre, and we are planning sequels and prequel to the film in the future if things go well,” Shaan had further shared.

    Meanwhile, here’s is a look back at Zarrar’s shoot diaries.
