The director of Pakistan’s newest festival sensation, Wakhri, Iram Parveen Bilal, is teasing an incredible album as the drama picture gets ready for its January 4 national theatrical premiere! The film, which is directed by the well-known music producer Abdullah Qureshi, features prominent female vocalists from the modern music industry.
Qureshi announced a multi-artist album for Wakhri on his Instagram page. The post said, “I produced four new tracks for Wakhri, the new film by the wonderful Iram Parveen Bilal and they’re out now.” The crazy lineup of Meesha Shafi, Ali Sethi, Eva B, Natasha Noorani, and RFB performs them.
The producer went on, “I had the best time of my life living in Wakhri and creating its music. The world is in exploding, unabashed technicolor. These songs communicate a meaningful story and are a lot of fun. And I sincerely hope that you experience the love that we gave them.
Qureshi continued by listing the songs by the musicians that were featured on Wakhri’s album, such as Eva B’s Baaghi, Meesha Shafi’s You Don’t Give a Haqq, Natasha Noorani’s Matlabi (Wakhri version), and Risham Faiz Bhutta and Ali Sethi’s Wakhri Dhamaal.
Director Iram responded to Qureshi’s tweet with enthusiasm, saying, “We are so honored and I can’t wait to watch you soar even higher!” a string of heart emoticons came next.
The movie reached a significant milestone earlier in December when it celebrated its global debut at the Red Sea Film Fest in Jeddah. Wakhri’s choices was simple considering its workmanship and was based on the deceased social media sensation from Pakistan, Qandeel Baloch. “Well, I don’t want to go out on a limb too much before they are shown, but I think people will be very struck by the new film by [Pakistani-US director] Iram Bilal, Wakhri: One of a Kind,” said Kaleem Aftab, the Film Fest Head of International Programming, in reference to the movie.
“I think that’s a movie that talks about something that happened in Pakistan and is rewriting the story about it,” Aftab continued. I’m also glad that Zarrar Kahn’s [unconventional horror movie], In Flames, which is likewise from Pakistan and is a contender for an international Oscar, altered the genre.”
