Yasir Hussain seems to be one busy man these days. After being in the headlines for his and Iqra Aziz’s wedding, the star wrapped up the currently on-air hit television show Jhooti, and then ventured forth into discussions for several new film projects. Now, he is all set to appear in a new horror-comedy written and directed by Syed Atif Ali, the filmmaker behind 2018’s Pari.
Performing alongside Yasir will be ARY morning show host Adeel Amjad popularly known as Aadi, Waqar Hussain, Nawal Saeed (Yakeen Ka Safar, Aik Aam Si Larki) and newcomer Sarah Khattak, among a host of other actors.
Sharing the details with Galaxy Lollywood, Yasir revealed: “The project has an interesting and unusual storyline, with elements of comedy and a bit of horror and mystery, too. I will be performing alongside Aadi and rest assured, you will be in for a lot of laughs and some chills and thrills, too.” The two actors together will be enacting the part of a bumbling duo in the film who encounter some wacky and spooky situations. Adding more slapstick element to the film will be comedian Waqar Hussain, popular for his performance in sitcom Quddusi Sahib Ki Bewah.
Shooting for the film, titled Peechay To Dekho, is expected to wrap up in early March. Besides the thrills and the laughs, the movie will be a musical, featuring some song and dance sequences.
With quite a few horror films in the pipeline, Pakistani cinema is seemingly witnessing a revival of sorts for the genre. Incorporating elements of comedy into the genre might prove to be that ingenious Midas touch which brings in box office gold.
Well we can’t wait to see how this one shapes up! Watch this space for the latest on this promising project.
Stay tuned to Galaxy Lollywood!
