Ahsan Khan to lead international horror film

LAHORE -- Acclaimed Pakistani actor Ahsan Khan is set to headline the forthcoming international horror feature Faramosh (Forgotten) alongside UK-based Pakistani producer and actor Samad Aariz, in what is being billed as one of the year's most ambitious cross-border cinematic ventures.

The film is being produced under the banner of Emberline Studio Ltd. and written and directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Abu Aleeha. Principal photography is scheduled to commence on 1 September in the United Kingdom, with filming continuing until the middle of the month at several locations.

Faramosh (Forgotten) is an Urdu-Punjabi horror thriller featuring an ensemble cast from Pakistan and India, bringing together artists from both countries for an international production. The filmmakers say the project aims to offer a distinctive and suspenseful cinematic experience while fostering creative collaboration across borders.

Speaking about the venture, producer and actor Samad Aariz said his vision was to produce world-class films that showcase Pakistan's storytelling talent on the international stage. He expressed confidence that high-quality international productions could strengthen Pakistan's film industry, help revive cinema-going culture and encourage audiences to return to theatres.

Backed by an experienced creative team, international production values and a compelling horror narrative, Faramosh (Forgotten) has already attracted considerable attention among cinema enthusiasts. Industry observers believe the film has the potential to become one of the most eagerly awaited South Asian horror releases, further enhancing Pakistan's growing profile in international cinema.
