Looks like the coming year will see quite a few long in the pipeline projects, such as The Legend of Maula Jatt, Sorry and Huay Tum Ajnabi (formerly The Trial) hit the silver screen. Joining the ranks of these anticipated productions will be acclaimed television director Amin Iqbal’s debut film Rehbara which features Ahsan Khan, Ayesha Omer and Sarish Khan as the leads. The film went on floors in January of 2017 and has since faced a series of production delays. However, it will finally see its final spell wrap up soon after which it will go into post-production.
The concluding spell
Previously, director Amin Iqbal had stated that 90% of the shoot had been completed and the delays had happened due to the producers being out of the country. However, now the remaining portions are now finally being shot. Sharing this good news was star Ahsan Khan, who told Galaxy Lollywood that the final scenes are currently being canned after which the film will enter its post-production stage.
When it finally releases, Rehbara will be Ahsan Khan’s first silver screen appearance since 2017’s Chupan Chupai. It will also mark Ayesha Omer’s return as a female lead after Karachi Se Lahore, although she was featured prominently in Yalghaar as well. Joining the duo will be Sarish Khan who debuted with Chain Aye Na, and who also hasn’t been seen since in any project. As far as senior actors go, Ghulam Mohiyuddin and Saba Hameed will be lending their presence to the film as well.
Final word
Described as a ‘love story with a twist’ Rehbara is a film that has quite a lot going for it. Director Amin Iqbal is quite a well-known figure in the Pakistani entertainment industry, with plays such as Deedan and Mannat to his credit. Ahsan Khan too is known to bring his A-game to all the projects he signs whereas upping the oomph quotient will be stars Ayesha Omer and Sarish Khan. The team, on the whole, is promising and from what we can tell, Rehbara is shaping up to be a strong project.
