Fog Catcher Films to produce movie on the life of living legend Alamgir
Karachi; 24th January 2016: Fog Catcher Films, a sister concern of Stimulus Productions, has announced what can be tipped to be the next blockbuster of the Pakistani cinema industry, Albela Rahi â a film on the epic tale of once an ordinary man, Alamgir, who rose to be the iconic Pop star of Pakistan and the one who pioneered the pop music genre in Pakistan.
It has been revealed that the lead actor playing the legendary pop singer is none other than Fawad Khan, Pakistanâs leading heartthrob and superstar. The 34-year-old actor who has been a true sensation in the television and film industry of Pakistan and India is perfect for this role having been a seasoned musician himself. Fawad Khan made his cinematic debut in 2007 and has come a long way since then, making his Bollywood debut in Shashanka Ghoshâs Khoobsurat opposite Sonam Kapoor. According to an insider, although Fawad is very selective when it comes to signing a film, he fell in love with the script and the story of Albela Rahi and has been on-board since day one!
The plot revolves around Alamgir and his struggles, his journey from East to West Pakistan and how he brought a wave of pop music along with him. Alamgir with his vigorous style of singing and stage performance brought a fresh breath of air to the Pakistani music industry in the early 1970âs. He introduced Urdu pop music and became an instant hit with his song âAlbela Rahiâ.
With an original script, a legendary protagonist together with Fawad Khan as the male lead, âAlbela Rahiâ â Fog Catcherâs debut film shows immense potential of being a huge critical and commercial success.
âFog Catcher Filmsâ is a sister company of Stimulus Productions, Pakistanâs leading TV commercialsâ production house. Stimulus Productions has rose to top in short period of six years and has produced over 200 television ads for blue-chip brands in Pakistan, working with both local and foreign directors.
About the Film Project Charlie
It was a fine chilly night of December 2013 when Sultan Ghani Afzal and Faisal Hashmi were sitting in the Stimulus office when suddenly it dawned on them that it was high time they made a film! It was always Sultanâs dream to make a film on someone who has left behind a legacy and changed the music industry forever. When it came down to deciding the protagonist, Alamgir â the legend who pioneered pop music in Pakistan was the ultimate front-runner! And so began the journey of Project Charlie â their code name for this film.
Project Charlie has finally been launched today as âAlbela Rahiâ and they are very proud of the fact that this is the first time a film is being made on a legendary pop icon of Pakistan. The idea has been polished for the past two years, the script rewritten and refined to the core and a great deal of effort made to bring it to where it is today.
âAlthough the concept of this film is a novel one in itself, we wanted to ensure that every other aspect of it is nothing short of being spectacular. Enter Fawad Khan â who we believe is the perfect actor to play Alamgir and carry on his legacy. We are very pleased to have Fawad on board since day one when we had shared with him the idea and script of Albela Rahi,â said Sultan Ghani Afzal.
Commenting about the living legend himself, Faisal Hashmi commented, âWe are immensely grateful to the legendary Alamgir for embarking on this journey with us to tell his lifeâs story through Albela Rahi.
