We reported earlier that Shamoon Abbasi-starrer web series Mind Games might make it to Netflix. The good news is now confirmed. Shamoon Abbasi’s upcoming directorial venture, titled Durj, will be screened at the prestigious Cannes.
Based on real events, the suspense-thriller’s official trailer released last year, which was dark and intense, exploring the untapped genre of cannibalism.
“Durj is based on a terrifying reality, all I can say is that the story is based on a historical criminal act that has occurred numerous times all around the world. We researched thoroughly and picked up incidents that took place in Pakistan and then turned it into a suspense film,” Abbasi told Instep in an earlier interview.
The film features Shamoon Abbasi and Sherry Shah in lead roles, who have undergone major transformation to achieve a certain look for the film. Moreover, major parts of the film have been shot in deserts, caves and mountains.
Apart from Abbasi and Shah, Durj stars Myra Khan, Nouman Javaid and Majid Khan (Dodi) in key roles. The film is all set to release on Eid this year.
