Made in Pakistan, ‘Maya the Myth’ a horror film has released on the online streaming service Amazon Prime. The movie is apparently based on real life events.
The story is about a young Pakistani Hindu girl named Padmani, who would hear frightening noises underneath the floorboards of her room. One night these sounds took the form of an invisible creature and it asked for the sacrifice of Padmani’s unborn child.
The trailer of the movie shows a girl dressed in red, who is supposedly Padmani, the leading character of the movie. A Pandit tells the girl in the trailer that Diwali will be auspicious for her and she will get anything she wishes for.
The movie is directed by Shaquille Arslan Ali. The movie features M. Ashraf, Hadiya Khan, Maa and Faisal Junejo in lead roles, and it was released on February 16.
Last year, Fawad Chaudhry requested Netflix and Amazon to look towards Pakistani content and invest in them because “we have immense talent and experience”. The minister asserted that Pakistani dramas have recently made a huge comeback and that he can assure the movie streaming website of successful partnerships.
