In another of the
headline grabbing motion picture associations to hit the domestic cinema market
in under a month, media giant ARY Films has entered into a joint venture
agreement with Mind Works Media to produce “hi-octane” Pakistani movies.
The joint venture,
which was held at ARY’s Medina City Mall offices, launched “Delta Echo
Foxtrot”, an actioner of “courage, sacrifice, passion and patriotism” set to
release in 2014, and “Waar 2” the sequel of the immensely successful “Waar”.
“Waar 2” will be
helmed by “Waar’s” producer and writer Hasan Rana, and is set to be shot in
Pakistan, U.K., Russian, Turkey and Yugoslavia with “national and international
superstars”.
At the occasion Mr.
Salman Iqbal, President and Founder, ARY Digital Network said “After the super
success of Waar and the sound relationship that we have developed with Mind
Works Media, it is natural for both companies to bring their expertise together
for even bigger and better movies. The fans of Pakistani cinema have proved
that if we make a good film, they will watch and appreciate it”.
Commenting on the
occasion Dr. Hasan Rana said that “We want all projects to be game changers and
we want to push ourselves to the very edge of what is possible. We hope that we
can come up to the expectations which the people of Pakistan have with us”.
This is the third
association ARY Films has cemented in the last year, making it one of the
biggest and the most versatile Pakistani cinema game changers in the last
decade. The company’s other associations includes a collaboration with
Mandviwalla Entertainment focusing on tent-pole commercial feature films, an
indie unit “The Platform”, and the recent partnership with Riaz Shahid Films to
produce a slate of four motion pictures, including an official sequel to Mahesh
Bhatt’s “Arth”.
ARY Films
(including “The Platform”) has so far released Josh – Against the Grain, Main
Hoon Shahid Afridi, Lamha, Zinda Bhaag and Waar.
