Hassan Waqas Rana’s upcoming all-star war saga, Yalghaar, finally has a release date. After spending several years in the making, as well as facing multiple delays for one reason or another, the film is now releasing in the first quarter of 2017.

Scheduled to hit cinemas on March 23, this year, Yalghaar will see two of the industry’s biggest names, Shaan Shahid and Humayun Saeed, facing off as protagonist and antagonist, respectively. Other than Shahid and Saeed, the film will also feature other notable actors. Those attached to this project include Adnan Siddiqui, Ayub Khoso, Ashir Azeem, Bilal Ashraf, Gohar Rasheed, Armeena Rana Khan and Ayesha Omar. Yalghaar will also mark the film debut of anchor Sana Bucha.

Touted as one of most expensive films produced in Pakistan, Yalghaar is a high octane action film based on a true story.

“It’s a complete high-octane action film based on the true story of a military operation in Swat,” Bilal Ashraf (who plays a pivotal role in the film) shared with Instep in an earlier interview. “Amidst the action, Yalghaar goes up close to follow the lives of the young, passionate officers and soldiers whose patriotism is throbbing with every heartbeat for their country. The film is very comprehensive in the sense that it touches upon the human element apart from bringing the whole war-based action to life on screen.”
