60 SECONDS WITH FIZZA ALI MEERZA

One of Pakistan’s most influential and progressive producer and screenwriter, Fizza Ali Meerza is nothing short of a wonder woman. In the days of the revival of cinema when direction was a bit hazy, Fizza came up with a script that put Pakistani cinema on the map with her comedy feature film debut Na Maloom Afraad. And she is a force, unstoppable; she pushes her limits into satirical comedy with her second blockbuster Actor in Law, this time targeting the deficiencies in our culture. With Khel Khel Mein being the most recent one to release, her creative independency brought flocks of viewers to packed cinemas and set a new benchmark for content in the industry. Fizza joins MAG for a quick and fun rapid fire. Here are 60 seconds from her life. Excerpts:
