Pakistani cinema is gearing up for another eventful Eid and a new film has entered the ring. Luv Di Saun , starring Farhan Saeed and Mamya Shajaffar, is all set to hit the silver screen on Eidul Azha.
The film’s first teaser dropped on Wednesday and it looks like we’re about to see some action-infused romance in the narrow lanes of old Lahore.
A description provided by the studio says while some love stories are gentle, this one isn’t, it’s “explosive”. It describes the film’s romance as “caught in the middle of chaos, choices, and consequences” and that it promises “emotion, intensity and edge-of-your-seat action”.
The teaser itself is no different, with Saeed narrating some of the contradictions of his story. “They say love changes a man, mine destroyed me. This is a story of love and a story of war, where the heart beats and breath stops. I have decided, I will neither stop, nor will I surrender.”
The visuals in the clip include Saeed facing off against a heavyset wrestler, leaping off rooftops and riding a vintage motorcycle with his love interest.
There is also a scene where his scream stops a goon mid-strike and makes him hand over his bat to the hero, suggesting there might be a little bit of comic relief to ease the tension in the movie.
The film is a brainchild of Imran Malik, who wrote and directed it. It stars Mehrunnisa Iqbal, Rana Ejaz, Babar Ali and Tabrez Khan alongside Shajaffar and Saeed.
Luv Di Saun will be joined in theatres by the thriller Psycho, starring Meera and Shaan Shahid over Eid. Fahad Mustafa and Mehwish Hayat’s horror flick Zombied will also be competing for cinemas patronage during the holidays.
