Double treat: Fawad Khan will play popstar Alamgir in biopic 'Albela Rahi'
We often talk about Pakistani artists not getting their due share of publicity or respect — but upcoming film Albela Rahi may change all that.
The film is based on the life of living musical giant Alamgir, and none other than Fawad Khan is set to play the role of the tunester.
This emerged as something of a double whammy this weekend at an event held to promote the film. Production house Fog Catcher Films, a sister concern of Stimulus Productions which boasts of over 200 productions since its inception, announced that work on the project was due to begin soon.
"The film is based on the epic tale of once an ordinary man, Alamgir, who rose to be the iconic pop star of Pakistan and is known as the pioneer of the pop music in the country," the movie's Facebook page explains.
