'Tamanna' set to release worldwide in March
Pakistan's first noir film Tamanna has been acquired by Britain-based
independent distributor Mara Pictures and is set to make its international
release in March, according toThe Hollywood Reporter.
Directed by renowned British
director Steven Moore and produced by Sarah Tareen of Concordia Productions, Tamanna is based on Anthony Shaffer's 1970
play Sleuth and features Pakistani actors Salman
Shahid, Mehreen Raheel, Faryal Gohar and Omair Rana.
"Pakistan's film industry
and the art of storytelling has dwindled in the half century since partition
from India [in 1947],” Tareen told The
Hollywood Reporter. “Tamanna is one of a handful of films released
in the last few years, in a period hailed as 'revival.' We are excited to bring Tamanna to a global audience.”
Tamanna is the
story of a young man, Riz Ahmed (Omair Rana), who falls in love with the young
wife (Mehreen Raheel) of the wealthy Mian Tariq Ali (Salman Shahid). The daring
Riz pushes the boundaries and puts the question in front of Mian Tariq Ali, who
proposes that in order to take his wife in marriage the young Riz steal some
highly precious jewels that the former had brought a while ago.
The film released in Pakistan
in June 2014.
