Tang Pakistan Sponsors Super Hero Movie
KARACHI – June 22, 2016 – Tang, the number 1 powdered
beverage manufactured by Mondelēz Pakistan Ltd. is the lead sponsor of
Pakistan’s first ever super hero movie, ‘Project
Ghazi’ which is set for release on
July 14, 2017.
The trailer of this trend setting movie was unveiled in a
ceremony held recently where Mondelēz Pakistan’s Managing Director, Usman
Muneer and Project Ghazi’s team spoke at length about its production and challenges.
Produced by Syed Mohammad Ali Raza and directed by Nadir H.
Shah, the science fiction movie revolves around highlighting the intolerance
prevailing within the society which is eventually shunned by highly skilled
soldiers as a result of their fervent demeanour and the spirit of nationalism. It
reflects the need for eradicating the evil prevailing within as opposed to
outside the state which is gradually succumbing to its malevolent activities.
The cast of Project Ghazi includes Sheheryar Munawar Siddiqui, Syra Shehroz,
Humayun Saeed, Adnan Jaffar, and Nusrat Hidayatullah.
“The provision of Art and Culture is essential in
bridging the divide among nations. We, at Mondelēz Pakistan have been promoting
Art and Culture in Pakistan and sponsoring Project Ghazi is part of the same
strategy that focuses on establishing a positive image of the country.” said
Usman Muneer, Managing Director Mondelēz Pakistan Ltd., “It is quite
invigorating to witness that Pakistani cinema is geared towards a new direction
with highly talented and educated people joining this industry. The movie is
quite unique given its genre, promising cast and strong narrative. We therefore
saw the collaboration as an onset of an outstanding relationship.”
While commenting on this genre, Nadir H. Shah, Director
of Project Ghazi said, “I’m hopeful that being the first ever super hero movie
of Pakistan, Project Ghazi will emerge as the stepping stone in our industry.
Such movies are prevalent internationally as they significantly appeal to a
larger audience. We need to play a pivotal role in promoting Art and Culture at
a decent scale, whereby we are able to give a positive message to the youth and
those outside Pakistan. Hence, such movies can be a brilliant way of achieving
this goal.”
Project Ghazi has been completely shot in Pakistan while
the background music has been composed by Taurees Habib, who has been part of
the music team in Hollywood film and television productions like Interstellar,
Batman vs Superman, Man of Steel (Superman) to name a few.
