We\u2019re excited to see how Abbasi addresses the age-old standards and stigma surrounding female presence in the society, and whether these characters provide young girls with more empowering, healthy role models they can look up to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asim Abbasi\u2019s rise to fame has been a direct result of his directorial debut, \u201cCake\u201d, which earned him the award for \u201cBest Film\u201d at the Lux Style Awards.
