Hassan Waqas Rana’s long delayed war saga, Yalghaar, that features an all star ensemble cast has been in the pipeline for over three years. Earlier it was revealed that there have been some issues concerning the cast and it was being delayed because of some of the actors who are a part of the film. It was announced after some time (last year) that the film will finally release on March 23, 2017.
However, the latest news surrounding Yalghaar is that it has been postponed, once again. A source close to the film confirmed to Instep that it has been delayed for reasons unknown.
“The shoot for the film has completed, everything else is done but we aren’t sure why it’s not coming out,” the source told Instep. “We were informed that it will release on 23rd March but now it is not.”
Yalghaar created a lot of hype ever since it was announced. It is touted as one of the most expensive films to be made in the history of Pakistani cinema. It stars two of the biggest superstars of local cinema, Shaan Shahid and Humayun Saeed, who’ll face off as protagonist and antagonist, respectively.
Aside from these two, a chunk of both veteran and new-age actors including Adnan Siddiqui, Bilal Ashraf, Gohar Rasheed and Armeena Khan are also attached to the project. Singer turned actor Umair Jaswal was also part of the Yalghaar but he left the film in the middle due to issues concerning dates.
