Its an interesting time for Pakistani cinema as not one but two ground breaking movies are on the cards. First being Oscar Winner Shereen Obaid Chinoy’s 3 Badadur slated for release later this year and producer Faisal Rafi’s film based on Shahan Zaidi’s English-language graphic novel Bloody Nasreen which is set to be released sometime in 2017.
According to its producer the movie will be shot in Karachi.
Rafi states that the film caters to 15-year plus age group.
“We have no idea how the viewers will react, but we expect them to be engrossed, shocked and pleased,” said Rafi.
The main character of Zaidi’s graphic novel, Bloody Nasreen, is a 27-year-old woman from Karachi who wears a skull-printed kameez with a churidar and sneakers – not really a look women her age would sport. She’s an anti-hero you’re not supposed to like.
According to Zaidi, Nasreen is ruthless but not cruel, fights a war against terrorism, human trafficking, corruption and injustice, and thinks that stupidity is more evil than evil.
