Shah

The film tells the life of the boxer Hussain Shah. Shah spent his childhood homeless on the streets of Karachi. He grew up in the Lyari neighbourhood. That is where he started boxing. Over the years he made a name in Asian rings. He took a bronze medal at the Seoul Olympics in 1988. He was the first Pakistani boxer to win an Olympic medal. The film lays out that rise in order. Adnan Sarwar wrote the film and directed it. He plays the lead himself. He trained in boxing for a year for the part. The cast comes largely from Lyari. Some of them had not stood in front of a camera before. The production was put together outside the film industry. Adnan Sarwar and Gulab Chandio appear in the one hundred nine minute film, a Pakistani production Adnan Sarwar finished in 2015.
