Here’s an interesting name for a film company: Shiny Toy Guns. In case you don’t believe us, it’s headed by the ace ad filmmaker Asadul Haq. Guess what! STG has teamed up with Riaz Shahid Films to make a film tentatively titled Mission 5.

They have roped in the internationally renowned Bafta-winning cinematographer Nic Knowland for the project. Not just that, the Pakistani actor who’s now a known name in Hollywood, Faran Tahir (Iron Man, Star Trek) will be seen playing an important role in the movie.

All looking good for STG and RSF. Shoot it!
