Scene divisioning

Scene 1

Time: Day

Character: Ali

Location: Country side near Karachi gate and Farmhouse

Voice over: Kisi ne sach he kaha hai ke khuda har waqt humein dekh raha hota hai aur jo baatein hum sab se poshida rakhte hain who uski zaat se poshida nai reh sakhti. Ab dekhiye na is jaga ki khamoshi ko dekh ke kon bata sakhta hai keh aj yahan ek masoom insaan ek saazish ka shikar bane gi. Aksar hum doston ke sath shaitaani raaste pe chal parte hain jis ka anjaam bohot bhayanak hta hai, itna bhayanak jiska asar humari zindagi aur maut dono pe ho sakhta hai.

Translation: It is true that god is always watching us and all the things which we hide from everyone are not hidden from him. By looking at the serenity of this place who can tell that today an innocent person will become victim of a conspiracy. Usually we walk on the evil path with our friends but we have no idea that the result can be very dangerous, dangerous to the extent that this can affect both our life and death.

Character profiling

Character name: Umar

Age: 30

Height: 6 feet

Description: Umar is a person who has a job in a multinational company and has married to a rich young lady. He thinks he is a big planner, knows everything and wants money in his life from any legal or illegal means. He married to this lady named Noureen to execute his so called business plan in which he murders his wife who loved him very much in order to get the custody of her property to build a project on. This all indicates that Umar is a character which reflects evilness and can be filmed on person who looks like 30 year old, rich, evil, and spoiled bread for which I choose Shahyan Shahid. This boy is one of the friends of my childhood friend and assistant director and not only knows a little bit of acting but also the posture and personality reflects that evilness along with a rich elite social group.

Character name: Noureen

Age: 25

Height: 5.5 feet

Description: Noureen is a beautiful, young and rich lady from the elite class who has completed her education and doing job in the same multinational company in which Umar woks. She is an independent lady and despite of all the inherited properties, money and power she is a simple, humble, loving and very much mature lady who lives life to its fullest and makes all the people proud in her life. Noureen gets betrayed by her husband whom she loved a lot and now she would be taking revenge of that betrayal. This character reflects the goodness and for this role I needed an actress who can act with full passion and feel the pain of the character of betrayal and can change the attitude of character after the betrayal like a good actor. I was very confused and was unable to choose till the end and finally I ended up with my sister Noureen Tejani doing it for me. She is my five year elder sister and from childhood all the projects which I did in my life were not possible without her support and so as this project. She has almost all the qualities which my Character demands and is an excellent actor with all the cooperation needed in this role.
