Pakistan’s film industry is undoubtedly thriving. Following The Legend of Maula Jatt’s success, other big-budget movies are being made to finally smash previous records.
The movie, according to 3rd World Studio, emphasizes the value of having clean, renewable energy and stresses the importance of forests and trees for a better, more environmentally friendly future. Additionally, it touches on friendship, injustice, and social inequality.
To begin with, Allahyar and the 100 Flowers of God is the follow-up to the highly regarded 2018 animated film, Allahyar and the Legend of Markhor. At a press conference earlier this month in Lahore, it was revealed that the sequel, whose teaser had already been released, was currently in production.
The sequel is “Pakistan’s first 3D stereoscopic animated feature film in the action thriller, science-fiction, and adventure categories,” according to the production company.
The story of the animated film centres on Allahyar, a young boy from northern Pakistan who travels to a new world with his best friend in order to save his father from a race of robots that steal wood.
Unexpectedly, the local movie will use voice-over talent from the region, including actors like Humayun Saeed, Ali Zafar, Iqra Aziz, Meera, and Bushra Ansari. For the musical scores, singers Zafar, Ali Noor, Sanam Marvi, and Grehan The Band, will be lending their soulful voices.
According to writer, director, and producer Uzair Zaheer Khan, “the theme for this one [Allahyar and the 100 Flowers of God] is the environment, keeping in trend with the prequel that explored the theme of wildlife conservation.
Khan remarked that there aren’t many films in the Pakistani market that feature “culturally relevant” material. Khan said that animated content has a significant impact on people, especially younger audiences. It is a very effective tool for fostering pride in them regarding their culture, values, and identity as Pakistanis, he said.
Given that all Pakistani animated films released to date have been 2D animation films, “Allahyar and the 100 Flowers of God” was a novel film. Worldwide, new movies, especially western movies, whether animated or live-action, are all in 3D, he claimed.
The writer concluded, “It’s a new benchmark, and we upgraded the film visually, thematically, and in terms of production quality.
