Yalghaar (Template:Lang-ur;meaning "Assault" or "Attack") is an upcoming Pakistani war epic film by Hassan Waqas Rana. The film is produced by MindWorks Media and is based on the true story of Pakistan Army's Swat Operation.[3]

The film "explores what happens in the lives of those involved, including the militants and how all of them are affected at a personal level because of the ongoing operation". It stars Shaan Shahid in the lead role, along with Humayun Saeed, Adnan Siddiqui, Ayesha Omer and Sana Bucha. It is the most expensive Pakistani to date. Apart from budget[2] and extensive cast, the film features 150 written characters.

Plot

Based on a true story over 76 hours of a successful military operation conducted in the Parichar region of Swat district, 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.

Cast

Debutants

Production

The movie went into production after about 3 years of extensive research. Apart from using a vast number of choppers and heavy ammunition, an artificial tunnel was dug in Karachi to replicate one found in North Waziristan.[3]

In preparation of their roles, all actors spent time with their real-life alter egos. Humayun Saeed, who plays the role of a militant, spent days with captured militants in order to prepare for his role.
