The first trailer of Dhai Chaal, a film based on the story of Indian RAW agent Kulbhushan Jadhav, played by Shamoon Abbasi is out. The film is told through the lens of a journalist, played by Ayesha Omar, and it explores the political atmosphere in Balochistan at the time. Jadhav was convicted and sentenced to death in 2017 by a military tribunal for spying.

"And it’s here!!!! The first trailer for Dhai Chaal based on Kulbhushan Jadhav. 'Yeh Bollywood nahi hai jahan tum Indians her jang jeet jatay ho [This is not Bollywood where you Indians win every battle].' This is a humble tribute to our beloved actor Rasheed Naz," Omar captioned her post.

The trailer features scenes quickly flashing by — operatives discussing Indian spies, a journalist, a protest and Jadhav's story.

Omar previously told Images she will "play Kanwal, a journalist who’s trying to give the real picture of what’s happening in the region." She said the story is covered through the lens of Kanwal who is a hardworking, resilient and determined realist who is blunt and believes in taking people at face value.

"The story is about Balochistan, it’s about foreign entities there and how the people of Balochistan sacrificed a lot and went through a lot of hard times to regain peace in the region. It's about everything they gave up; it’s the story of students, of journalists," added Omar.

In an earlier comment to Images Abbasi said, "My role is based on the events of Kulbhushan Jadhav, the RAW agent from India that was appointed to create chaos in the region of Balochistan and damage any relation between Pakistan and China."

Omar shared, "It’s a team of young people, energetic and hard-working kids from universities in Balochistan. They've all been working day and night and love working from the heart."

Directed by Taimoor Sherazi and produced by Dr. Irfan Ashraf, the film's cast also includes Humayoun Ashraf, Adnan Shah Tipu, Taqi Ahmed, Saleem Meraj, Areej Chaudhary, Faraz Marri, Jamal Gilani, Pakiza Khan and Anya Hassan.

Abbasi had told Images that Dhai Chaal was expected to come out in Feb 2020. However, the trailer said the film will release "this summer".

@Mudassir Tamimi It is better not to target that poor pilot. The movie should be how the PAF operation swift retort was conducted and expose India for irresponsible behavior for putting peace and stability in the region at risk to increase vote bank for elections.

Awesome. I can’t wait to watch this video. A movie must also be made about the captured Indian pilot Abhinandan.

This honestly looks great! I'm usually not interested in Pakistani movies but for once I'll be going to the cinema for this one if it's available. We need more of this type of movie. Great work!

@Zak “ It will be most watched in India and Indian terrorism will be exposed.” No chance. No income is coming from Indians.

Not my cup of tea ! Pakistani cinema should stick to light hearted stuff, we see these things in our daily lives.
