The 2013 action flick Waar played an important role in the revival of Pakistan’s film industry. The movie proved to be a big hit locally as well as internationally.
Directed by a young Bilal Lashari, Waar broke the highest opening day business held by Bollywood’s Chennai Express (which starred none other than Shahrukh Khan) at that time. Just let that sink in for a minute.
As we have seen, hit movies almost always get a sequel. But in the case of Waar, things were left cold. Until yesterday that is.

This hints at a possible sequel to Waar and honestly we can not wait for the project to kick off.
Back in 2015, producer Hassan Rana had officially announced the sequel of Waar in an interview with a leading local media outlet. He had stated that they plan to release the film in 2016 but we never knew what happened to their plans.
Let’s hope this time we finally get a sequel to our favorite patriotic action movie.
