Usman Mukhtar, best known for his role in Sabaat, and model-actress Rubya Chaudhry have done a stellar performance in the short film Bench, which was recently released on YouTube on Thursday.
Usman’s directorial debut also features Rubya Chaudhry and both are sharing screen space together in a 12-minute long short film.
The film, scripted by Ali Mudar, began with a drone shot of lush greenery and later it followed that the couple’s marriage is on the brink of a breakdown as it showed the conversation between the two characters Rubya who plays the wife and Mukhar’s character who plays the husband.

Proudly, Bench was also shortlisted for the Cannes International Independent Film Festival in September.
