Abu Aleeha, director of the film “Javed Iqbal”, took to social media to express his thoughts on the limited budget for his movie, which is based on the life of Pakistan's most notorious serial killer. In his post, Aleeha pointed out that had “Javed Iqbal” received even 10% of the budget allocated to India’s “Sector 36”, another true crime film, it could have had a significant global impact.

The director's comments have sparked a conversation about the financial disparities between the film industries of neighboring countries. While “Javed Iqbal” garnered critical acclaim for its gripping storytelling, Aleeha feels that a larger budget would have elevated the film's reach and production quality, bringing international recognition to the chilling story of Pakistan’s most disturbing serial killer.
