The season of movies is on the fast track. The Pakistani film industry is churning out projects on a frequent basis. One of them is Aksbandh which is to hit the multiplexes on May 20.

Directed Emran Hussain, the cast of the film includes Ayaz Samoo, Bilal Yousufzai, Danial Afzal Khan, Shehzeed Rahat and Mahrukh Rizvi. The makers of the film claim that it is Pakistan’s “first found footage horror film”. That sounds interesting. It would not have been as interesting if it was based on a lost-and-found footage.
