Speaking about his cinematic debut, director Mission 5 Asad ul Haq of STG has said in the press released, “My dad once told me long time ago: “that a story will tell itself, when it’s ready”. Till the last few months I assumed that it wasn’t ready but suddenly I find myself thinking, dreaming about the story 24/7! I guess it’s finally ready to be told.”
