Shoot On Sight, a political thriller directed by Jag Mundhra under the banner of Cine Boutique Entertainment, will be premiered at the Dubai Film festival on December 15, 2007.
The film stars Brian Box, Greta Scacchi, Naseerudin Shah, Om Puri, Stephen Greif, Ralph Ineson, Sadie Frost, Gulshan Grover, Laila Rouass, Mikaal Zulfiqar, and India Wadsworth. Shoot On Sight deals with the consequences of the UK Underground bombings in July 2005, highlighting the dilemma of peace-loving Muslims, when the so-called cosmopolitan cities, especially London, were clutched by the fear of Islamic extremism and racial profiling.
The story revolves around Tariq Ali, a Muslim police officer in Scotland married to an Englishwoman. Tariq, investigating the police shooting of a suspected Muslim terrorist in the London Underground, is always distrusted by his superiors. What compounds his misery is the discovery of a terrorist cell operating in his own backyard.
The Dubai Film Festival in its fourth year is being held under the Honorary Chairmanship of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum and now is recognized as one of the world's premier festivals showing a wide range of films.
Shoot On Sight is expected to release worldwide in March 2008.
