Yasir Hussain and Ayesha Omar are all set to star in a film on Javed Iqbal, one of Pakistan’s most notorious serial killers whose surrender in 1999 shook the country. “We are dealing with the story quite delicately,” writer and director Abu Aleeha said while speaking to SAMAA Digital. “We don’t want to portray Javed’s gruesome crimes as they are usually conveyed.
