1 Ayesha Muzaffar as the screenwriter behind ‘Deemak’
If you haven’t heard of Ayesha Muzaffar then are you even a true horror girlie? I picked up her book ‘Jinnistan’ last year thinking it could work as a good read while travelling on the bus. But instead, I was left completely speechless by how truly mind-chilling and creepy her stories were.
Ayesha released the teaser on her Instagram account abusjinns, calling this film “dark, gripping and deeply unsettling”.
2 A star-studded cast
A film that is filled with A-list actors like Bushra Ansari, Faysal Quraishi, Sonya Hussyn and Javed Sheikh? This is definitely going to be a film that makes a huge mark on the film industry just like ‘Maula Jatt’ did.

Rafay Rashidi was announced as the director behind the horror film and given his previous credentials we know that he will produce a masterpiece like no other. Rashidi was also the director behind previous dramas such as ‘Badsha Begum’ which received rave reviews from audiences for tackling a unique storyline. He also directed the film ‘Jamun Ka Darakht’ which won the prestigious ‘Best Social Justice Short Film’ award at the Cannes Film Festival.
