The biggest challenge for the upcoming film O21 will be to beat the benchmark created by blockbuster Waar, released exactly a year ago, but the film’s crew is bent upon proving that they have a fresh perspective to offer.
The spy-thriller, Operation 021, is set to release on Eid-ul-Azha this year. The film’s official trailer launch event, which was held at Nueplex Cinema on September 21, 2014 was attended by many stars circling Pakistan’s drama and film industry.
Director Jami stressed that “it is nothing like Waar”.
The film is produced by Azaan Sami Khan, son of veteran actors Zeba Bakhtiar and Adnan Sami Khan who was termed by 021 cast as the “youngest producer”. The trailer was dotted with both Urdu and English dialogues but Khan did not disclose the reason behind choosing to make the film bilingual.
Jami who has been producing advertisements and music videos will be making his debut in film direction.
“I think it was easier for me to make the transition since it’s more difficult to work on a short narrative.”
021 will be competing with Na Maloom Afraad on Eid, which has already created a stir and curiosity among the masses.
