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.

The title is yet to be disclosed, but we know for sure that it will take us on a ‘dark’ ride.

Confirming the news, Nabeel Qureshi took to his Twitter to reveal that they have been working on this web series for quite a long time.

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.
