Some of Pakistan’s TV and ad film directors are either planning to do a film or have already secretly begun working on one. One of them is the noted music video director Jami who is busy with a project that might take many by a pleasant surprise. It’s a film and is not crammed with the usual, formulaic song and dance sequences (although it does have music). Jami has been keeping it under his hat and justifiably so, because the director is known for his innovative angles and storylines and he doesn’t want that revealed before time. So fingers crossed!
