Digital entertainment has become all the rage these days. We are glad that even the Pakistani entertainment industry is also gradually moving towards this trend, and that many popular names are giving us some wholesome ‘web series’.
Director Nabeel Qureshi has also jumped on the bandwagon as he is working on his own web series. The premise of his newest project is very interesting, to say the least.

Galaxy Lollywood revealed the big news last night that the Na Maloom Afraad famed director, is all set to embark on his next project which is going to be released on a Pakistani OTT platform.

The Lyari gang war has not been represented in any film or drama but it is a reality of the metropolis that we often don’t talk about.
The web series may touch on the real life stories of Lyari crime lords like Arshad Pappu, Uzair Baloch, Rehman Dakait, etc. People would love to see how these notorious gangsters became who they were while giving us a little insight on their clashes.
With this project, Nabeel Qureshi has three major projects lined up for release – the first two are Fahad Mustafa and Mahira Khan starrer Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad and Ahmed Ali Butt’s Fatman.
