Many felt the Nachh Na Jaaney actor’s performance was chilling.
#Javediqbal – The movie teaser featuring Yasir Hussain is goosebump inducing. The barbaric criminal vibe & the smirk that the serial killer had was brilliantly portrayed.
This is gonna be a disturbing watch but a must for the sake of living in the times of him. Y2K era.

Not everyone was impressed though. How do you feel about the Punjabi accent?
Just watched trailer of hyped movie "#JavedIqbal".
Awful production, it was a Lahore based crime & should have filmed there or at least a place that looked like Lahore. Just to show he is Punjabi, doing this accent lol come on guys.— Moeed Ali Khan (@KalashanKlopp) December 8, 2021
Then there were also issues with the deviation from the original sequence of events.
Justice was never served in #JavedIqbal's case too & he was killed in the jail along with two other perpetrators.

Meanwhile, Ayesha Omar will be seen playing the role of a police officer in the movie.
The Untold Story – Javed Iqbal is an upcoming movie based on the true story of serial killer Javed Iqbal. Back in the 90s, he abused and killed over 100 children in Lahore. The serial killer was active between 1998 and 1999 till he was finally apprehended by police.
Excitement to see the true-crime saga being adapted into a film has been peaking ever since posters for the movie were released. However, many people also opposed the movie given the graphic nature of the content.
Written and directed by Abu Aleeha, the movie is being produced under the banner of KKFilms by Javed Ahmed.
