Movie stars Gohar Rasheed and Faryal Mehmood are working on a project that is based on the COVID-19 lockdown.
According to Gohar, the movie is a “love story with the backdrop of lockdown and the horrors of COVID-19. The whole world is experiencing it right now.” He further added that the title of the movie, Lockdown, highlights “how a common man get affected by [COVID-19], how a simple couple gets affected by the horror of COVID-19 and the repercussions of lockdown.”
Faryal Mehmood remarked, “I can’t talk much about the story, but the name kinda gives it away! It’s about a couple suffering through these times and how they overcome their struggles to be with each other in the end. A hope for all of us to ignite in ourselves and others!”
It has been revealed that the movie is being made for “Amazon or Netflix”.
Lockdown will be directed by Abu Aleeha and written by Abida Ahmed. Asad Malik is going to be the director of photography and Mont Blanc is producing the project.
Gohar Rasheed further commented on Lockdown, stating:
“The story is very unique, it’s very relatable. The way it’s been written, the kind of treatment they’re doing… it’s never been done before. Abu Aleeha has done a fantastic job on it.”
“It’s very real. The concept is very original. It hasn’t been attempted before especially in Pakistan. I was completely sold on Abu Aleeha’s vision for this film. We’re trying our best. I really hope with this project we enter the OTT [streaming service] market.”
So far no release date has been announced for Lockdown, a movie starring Gohar Rasheed and Faryal Mehmood, as shooting is still ongoing.
