Naseer's Shoot on Sight kicks off in London

Veteran Bollywood actor Naseeruddin Shah's next film Shoot on Sight about the July 7, 2005 bombings in London has gone on the floor with Jagmohan Mundhra wielding the megaphone for this reality-based movie.

"Our film storyline is based on Scotland Yard's order to shoot suspicious Muslim terrorists after the July 7, 2005 London bombing. It highlights the predicament of the predominantly peace loving Muslims in the face of Islamic extremism," said producer Aron Govil.

Naseer plays the lead role of Tariq Ghaffur, a Muslim police officer of Scotland Yard, who's asked to hunt down suspected suicide-bombers involved in the July 7 attacks.

Tariq's task gets complicated when the commando shooters of Scotland Yard kill an innocent Muslim. It is further complicated when Lahore-born Tariq, who is a British citizen married to an English woman, becomes a suspect in the eyes of his colleagues, despite his long service.

It has an interesting mixed star cast - Brian Cox, Greta Scacchi, Stephen Greif, Om Puri, Sadie Frost, Mikaal Zulfikar and Laila Rousas, a Moroccan Indian actress popular in Britain.

Shoot on Sight is made under the banner of Cine Boutique Entertainment owned by Mundhra and Govil. It is planned to wrap up the movie by mid July to be released by the year-end.
