The trailer for the much-awaited Shoaib Mansoor film Verna has just been released.
While Shoaib Mansoor has tried to keep the film's plot under wraps, word has it that Verna is a revenge drama that centres around the protagonist Sarah's (Mahira Khan) struggle for justice after she survives rape.
We got a sense of the film's dark, gritty mood in its initial teaser and then Mansoor offered us some relief in the music video for the song 'Sambhal Sambhal Kay'.
What does the trailer reveal? We learn that that Sarah has been let down by two men in her life — her husband (Haroon Shahid) and a political acquaintance of hers (Zarrar Khan) — and that she does, indeed, have revenge on her mind. Rasheed Naz's closing dialogue 'DNA match kara tou kya kareyge?' (What do we do if the DNA matches?) confirms that a rape does occur in the film.
But there's still lots more to Verna. Watch its trailer here:
Verna comes out on November 17.
