The upcoming Pakistani movie ‘Yaara Vey’ is all set for a global release on the national day of the United Arab Emirates which falls on December 2.
The story of ‘Yaara Vey’, which is weaved around the life of a self-confident female protagonist, has been described as a ‘UAE product’ as it is mainly produced by the country’s expatriate community in Dubai.
Shot in Dubai, Georgia, and Thailand, “Yaara Vey” will be simultaneously launched in Pakistan, the Middle East, United Kingdom and the United States.
Mahwash Ijaz, the co-author of the story, described the film as “UAE product,” saying the storyline was heavily structured around characters based in the Gulf state. According to her, the film “shows that life is unpredictable and can throw curve balls at you.”

“The film shows many of the struggles and feelings we go through as people on the move,” she said. “It has a global appeal in the sense that love and unpredictability of life are universal themes,” Ijaz said.
Ijaz maintained this pattern was unlike television productions “where most stories are centered on women.”
“This is a film written by two women,” she continued. “I feel we have a unique grasp of female psyche. When we were writing the film, we were very mindful of how women talk and behave with their male counterparts. So, I think one of the key ideas in the story is how women see women and love as well. A lot of inspiration comes from there.”
A creation of Beeline Productions, “Yaara Vey” is directed by Manish Pawar, an Indian filmmaker who has previously done successful projects for Zee 5 and Amazon Prime.
