“I want to make this movie so that people become aware of what is actually taking place in the country,” said Hamza.

It has been 8 months to the ghastly attack, yet the wounds of the family and the survivors are still fresh.

“Normally people do not know, even till this day, as to what happened. They’re still baffled as to how many children were killed,” revealed Abbasi.

The star will unveil the real background tale behind the bloodshed of children that took place an army-run school, as it still remains a mystery to many.

“The massacre itself will be highlighted in the last ten minutes of the telefilm, right at the very end. The main elements will focus on what led to this attack, what the TTP actually is and all the events that caused this horrendous incident,” he divulged about the media.

The Jawani Phir Nahi Ani actor seems confident about his project and has even sent the script for review to the ISPR.
