Karachi: Producer and lead actress Meera has said that her upcoming film “Psycho”, set to release on Eid-ul-Adha, is a world-class production and can compete with both Bollywood and Hollywood films. She expressed full confidence that the film will earn over 500 crore in revenue and set new popularity records worldwide.
Meera also revealed that if a sequel “Psycho 2” is made, it will be shot in Karachi. According to Meera, she became so deeply immersed in her character that she started feeling like the “biggest psycho” in the world herself. She said the role was extremely challenging and affected her mentally as well.
She made these remarks during a press conference held in Karachi as part of the film’s promotional campaign, as well as in a conversation with Geo TV, where senior actor Mustafa Qureshi was also present. It is worth mentioning that “Geo Films” is the media partner of this thriller, suspense, action, and adventure-packed film.
Meera further said that although Pakistan produces relatively few quality films, “Psycho” will elevate the country’s film industry on an international level. She added that she always strives to deliver better performances and also provides opportunities for newcomers to learn.
She also revealed that the film is directed by Shan Shahid, calling it a unique experience to work under his direction. Meera stated that she worked extremely hard for the role and even experienced mental stress and depression due to its intensity, adding that acting is not an easy profession and requires full dedication and passion. She said, “Psycho” is not just a film but a symbol of Pakistan’s pride, dignity, and identity. According to her, the film has the potential to compete with Indian and Hollywood productions in terms of quality, and it will make the Pakistani audience proud.
Senior actor Mustafa Qureshi also said during the event that if a film can be made on “Phool Devi” in India, then a film can also be made on “Paki”. He added that the extensive media coverage given to Paki’s arrest for hours was inappropriate, while some important issues are not given similar attention.
He further stated that producers in Punjab are often funded on political grounds for film projects. The press conference also paid tribute to the senior actor for his contributions to the industry.
