First look: Upcoming film Hijrat seems like a mixed bag

Another film will dominate our screens soon after Ho Mann Jahaan -- Farooq Mengal's project Hijrat, which is set to be released on January 21st.

Starring Rabia Butt, Asad Zaman, Rubab Ali, Nadeem Baig and Ayub Khoso and featuring Sana in an item number, Hijrat is set against the backdrop of the Afghan refugee crisis.

Here's a look at the trailer:

From the look of it, Rabia Butt is set to sizzle onscreen -- but with those cheekbones, how could she not?

Initially set to release on December 31, Hijrat's premiere was pushed back so that the film wouldn't clash with Ho Mann Jahaan. Speaking about the matter, producer/director Farooq Mengal said: "As release timings are crucial to a film's success, I feel that all Pakistani films should be given the space to do well. And so I feel that all producers should support each other by spacing out our releases."
