He said that many films have been made in the last five years, but after the independence of the provinces, the film industry has also become independent. Karachi films are separate and Islamabad films are separate. People work in their own teams. It would have been better to have worked together, if that had been the case there should not have been such a long gap.’
According to Sean: ‘I wanted to show people the war that they cannot see. It is very important to show the lobby working against Pakistan on the screen of the film, because in the West, when such a film is made, they create fiction, while here we have so many villains that fiction is needed. It is not.’
About the heroine of ‘Zarar’, Karan Malik, he said, ‘The best thing about Karan Malik was that she was ready to do research about her character and whatever journalist asked her to do it. Keep them in mind they did the same’.

The Heroine of ‘Zarar’
Shaan praised his leading lady, Karan Malik, for her dedication to her role. “The best thing about Karan was that she was ready to do research about her character and whatever journalist asked her to do, she kept it in mind and did the same,” he said.

The Story of ’Zarar’
Shaan described ‘Zarar’ as a film about a warrior who fights a secret war, one that remains unseen in the media. “Furthermore, ‘Zarar’ is not an army-based film; it’s an independent film, based on a specific type of situation,” he clarified.
