Tamanna (2014 film)

The film stars Omair Rana, Salman Shahid, Mehreen Raheel and Faryal Gohar.

The film incorporates elements of dark humour, melodrama, crime, passion and revenge and is based on Anthony Shaffer’s play, Sleuth.

A contest of male dominance between the two men ensues, starting quite reasonably, playfully even, but eventually turning angry and violent.

Both Salman Shahid and Faryal Gohar were cast first around 3 years before the film was eventually made, as early as 2009.

Amongst scenes that were cut in the edit was Omair Rana with Rasheed Naz in Wazir Khan Mosque in the Walled City of Lahore, but does appear briefly on a TV set in the background at one point during the film.

The film premiered on 13 June 2014[8] in Lahore Karachi and Islamabad then ran subsequently in cinemas around Pakistan for two weeks.
