Pakistani spy action thriller, 'Operation 021', is set to release later this year on Eid-ul-Azha in October, as announced on the film's official Facebook page.

The team has denied the rumours about its Independence Day release and also clarified that there was never an announcement for the official date before, the Dawn reported.

Azaan Sami Khan, the film's producer said that they stayed quiet until they were officially clear from their labs and post-production supervisors that the date is deliverable, and so, Eid-ul-Azha is the only official date committed by them.

Khan further added that audience expectation builds when a date is announced, and that rumours about early releases can be damaging and that they are in talks with various distributors (in India and around the world), as they are trying very hard to make O21's release a simultaneous international one.

 

'Operation 021', produced by Zeba Bakhtiar and her son Azaan Sami Khan, in collaboration with Australian director Summer Nicks, stars Shaan Shahid as the lead actor and Shamoon Abbasi, Aamina Sheikh and Ayub Khoso as supporting roles.

The movie is launched as a project of One Motion Pictures and is scripted to address the political events in Pakistan and bring awareness to the Pakistani audience.
