The teaser for Mehwish Hayat and Fahad Mustafa's upcoming zombie movie Zombeid is out and it looks gruesome.

 

Touted as Pakistan's first-ever zombie thriller, the film is set to release on Eidul Azha and is created by Nabeel Qureshi and Fizza Ali Meerza.

 

The teaser opens with a deep-voiced narrator setting a chilling tone. "We've seen wars, we've seen the pandemic, only this was left," he says, over a montage of zombie snarls.

 

 

The clip hints at plenty of action, with a sequence showing a shirtless Mustafa inside a fighting octagon, alongside heavy stunt work. There is also a hint of romance, with a shot of Mustafa and Hayat cuddled up together.

 

Fans flooded the comments with excitement.

 

 "Bollywood samaj me darr ka mahol," wrote one user. "Cinematography," another commented with fire emojis. Others called it "actually interesting" and praised it as "finally something different."

 

Now it is safe to say Zombeid looks like a solid break from the usual dramas we see on our screens.
