Shaan Shahid's film Zarrar is all set to release next weekend after much delay. Action thriller will hit screens on November 25 across country. At a recent press meet, Arth star, who has been rather critical of local content as of late, has pointed out how filmmakers in country need to explore more genres in industry.

"There are so many subjects and topics that filmmakers haven't touched on yet," Shaan shared with a local outlet. "There's horror, there's science fiction. We haven't used them. We need to move past 'Idhar Nahi Jaungi' or 'Udhar Nahi Jaungi'. If we do, then maybe we'd come towards those." Trailer for upcoming action thriller was dropped two years ago and by looks of it, film like any other spy thriller had a grand conspiracy as its core theme. Opening sequence of trailer showed foreign powers conspiring against Pakistan. It shows country being attacked from all fronts. On one hand, religious fundamentalists are planning to launch an attack within and on other, it is implied that West and India are collaborating on a massive propaganda campaign against it too. Sequence ends with shot of Nayyer Ejaz saying, 'cheers to the dark future of Pakistan.'
