LAHORE: The trailer of Dhai Chaal, a Pakistani film based on the Indian RAW agent Kulbhushan Jadhav, is finally out and it appears promising by the looks of it.
The film features renowned actor and director Shamoon Abbasi, Ayesha Omar and Humayoun Ashraf in prominent roles. The film is told through the lens of a journalist, played by Ayesha Omar, and it explores the political atmosphere in Balochistan at the time.
Shamoon Abbasi will be seen as the RAW agent who was sent to Balochistan to sabotage the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project. Jadhav was convicted and sentenced to death in 2017 by a military tribunal for spying.
“And it’s here!!!! The first trailer for Dhai Chaal based on Kulbhushan Jadhav. ‘Yeh Bollywood nahi hai jahan tum Indians her jang jeet jatay ho [This is not Bollywood where you Indians win every battle].’ This is a humble tribute to our beloved actor Rasheed Naz,” Omar captioned her post.
