GWM TANK 500 - ‘The Calling’ ‘Sometimes the further you go, the further you are from where you truly belong…’ Always wanted to try my hands on Unreal but I wanted to only do it when it really called for it. The hardest challenge is always blending CGI with real footage. With this, we wanted the protagonist’s world to look a little odd, a little uncomfortable. And Unreal/CGI presented us with the exact opportunity to make this concept really come to life. This one’s (again) been super special to me. Getting to work with some very talented people across the globe was always going to be special. Shout out to my friend @vladyslavmilchenko for lensing this for me. My brothers at @disruptcgi - @ultronfilms and @matt.visualz for creating some insane car shots in UNREAL. @jamesrosen_editor , for really bringing soul, and some, to the edit. @rafaelrikou and @nextofdin for bringing their magic to this already iconic score. @davide.pini.color for colouring and bringing the two worlds together in ways that only he could. @postfusionofficial and @wahabdanka for being my constant in navigating the uncertain waters I mostly find myself in. And my brother, my rock, @ssajjadshah , my forever partner in all my wrong decisions (on and off set)! And lastly, @fahadnabi35 for never saying never! And of course, my people at GWM - @ammarhameed @abuz3r @adilsaeedkhan @alihameed04 @faisalskhan . And @wahaj.official for being so ever patient with us!

Latest DC for GWM | Great Wall Motor Company - ‘How far can we go…?’ From shooting in snow storms below -9 degrees at altitudes over 3650m on the mighty Deosai Plains - the second highest plateau in the world - to the hills and valleys of Skardu and to the streets of Baku - this one holds an even more special place with me. Huge thanks to everyone for blindly trusting me. Blessed to have worked with these legends! My talented friend and DoP @azmisius for lensing this and unrelentlessly working with me to bring this to life. To my associate director and most trusted companion @ssajjadshah for giving his all. To my friend and producer @fahadnabi35 for never saying no and always following my lead. My 1st AD @zohaibfarooqkhan for always coming through. @thehysum for penning the soul into this beautiful copy with me. @wahabdanka for always having my back and the amazing vfx. @fatimabutt.11 for styling our muse and @akash.pervaiz for the epic epic original score!

Aaand its finally here.. This one’s been special for two reasons - one because I got to conceptualise and write this from scratch and second because this is an ode to all my friends and family out there - to all my people. The only thing that really ‘Makes Sense’. The ones that I am still in touch with, and more so, the ones that I rarely get a chance to speak to. I’ve always felt that its easy to lose track of all that is really important in life. We all go out chasing after our dreams and what we think is important but often we lose sight of what matters the most - the people we meet along this journey. We give them all a little piece of ourselves and keep a bit of theirs, only to be whole when reunited. For me, a car is like the people that come into our lives. Its not just a means to get us from point A to B. For most, a car stays with them for years, filling in on the little voids, catering to our specific needs - just like the people that come into our lives. So yeah, here it is. To all my people that went along on this journey with me. The ones that inspired this narrative. And the ones that helped me carve it - You all have a special place in my heart. @ssajjadshah @azmisius @fahadnabi35 @waleed_ahmed10 @wahabdanka @shahid_bin_rafiq Featuring @kiran.malikofficial @nabeelzuberiofficial and Ali Butt Production House: @anomaly_films_ Client: Haval Copy: Riyan Durrani Director: Riyan Durrani Producer: @fahadnabi35 Executive Producer: @shahandurrani and Riyan Durrani Associate Directors: @ssajjadshah @waleed_ahmed10 Associate Producer: Sohail Ramay DOP: @azmisius Focus Puller: @rabbanikamran Art Director: Shahid Rafique Stylist: @maryamraja Gaffer: Nadeem Multani Grips & Rigs: @iam_islam_ud_din Drone: @meerfpv Edit: Imran Mushtaq Post: @postfusionofficial @osama.oki Colourist: Wahab Danka Music: @akash.pervaiz Production Manager: Saleem Chitta and @shahjaturi Special thanks to @nadeemalkarimi @adeelamer @hammadazim #HavalMakesSense #haval #anomalyfilms #riyandurrani #director #producer #film #filmmaking #filmmaker #haval #havalhev #hunza #pakistan #commercial #adagency #art #artist #marketing #advertising #instadaily #instavideo

When nostalgia meets retro-futurism. Introducing the all new GWM HAVAL H6 PHEV! A contemporary visual design that reflects the modern tech of EVs with the soul of 70s rock n roll, reminiscent of the good old fashioned gasoline days! Thanks to all my constants, you know who you are. And @sarmadghafoor for this very nostalgic trip down my 70s playlist! @ammarhameed for all the sound edit and helping me with the music! And @adeelamer for all the stunt driving and laughs!
