The film's protagonists are three Pakistani brothers, the eldest one being a police officer and the younger two, small-time hoodlums. The three brothers ultimately reconcile in the light of the controversy over
The Satanic Verses: in a dramatized version of the
Islamabad police firing on a mob on 12 February 1990 when five demonstrators were killed and 83 injured, their younger sister is killed by the police while demonstrating against Rushdie. The three brothers decide to avenge her and
Islam's honor by hunting down and killing Rushdie. They receive the help of a female police officer in the course of their mission.
Salman Rushdie, played by Afzaal Ahmad, is portrayed in the film as a sadistic criminal mastermind, working for an international conspiracy devoted to destroying Islam (as the
Muslim faith is an obstacle to his wishes of building
casinos,
nightclubs and
brothels around the world). He is depicted as hiding in the
Philippines, guarded by a private army led by an
Israeli general.
Saeed Khan Rangeela stars as "Chief Batu Batu", Rushdie's main
Jewish henchman. Rushdie lives a life of
hedonism and other excesses and routinely amuses himself by torturing and killing the
mujaheddins who regularly try to hunt him down. He also enjoys torturing Muslims by making them listen to readings of
The Satanic Verses. ==Cast==
