The movie will be a co-production of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) and Hamza Ali Abbasi.
In a recent interview the ‘Jawani Phir Nahi Ani’ star said many people in Pakistan still don’t know the reality of deadly event in Peshawar. The movie will highlight the key facts that led to APS attack, he said.
He further added the APS incident will be highlighted in the last ten minutes of the telefilm, right at the very end. The main elements will focus on what the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) actually is and all the events that caused this horrendous incident, he explained.
Hamza Ali Abbasi also revealed telefilm’s script has been sent to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
