The 9/11 terrorist attacks reminds of destruction, tears, deaths and chaos. Many filmmakers have tried their hands to make movies based on such unforgettable events. This time, Abhishek Sharma directed, ‘Tere Bin Laden’ is just a comic satire on the Al-Qaeda leader, Osama Bin Laden.
 
The movies which have already got inspired from the backdrop of the past events are ‘New York’, ‘Kurbaan’ and ‘My Name Is Khan’. The upcoming movie, ‘Tere Bin Laden’ is also in the same lines, but doesn’t really involve any violence or chaos.

Director, Abhishek Sharma says, “Tere Bin Laden” is a tongue-in-cheek comedy about an ambitious young news reporter from Pakistan, Ali, who is waiting for a big break as he aspires to migrate to the US in pursuit of the American dream.”

He further adds, “In the light of the 9/11 attacks, his visa is always rejected. However, he comes across a farmer who resembles Osama Bin Laden. Ali then hatches a scheme to produce a fake Osama video and sell it to news channels as a scoop. Unfortunately there are serious ramifications as the White House gets involved and dispatches an overzealous secret agent on Ali's trail.”

So, the movie showcases a humorous approach with a little scoop of satire. It is also the debut platform for Pakistani pop singer turned actor, Ali Zafar.

Abhishek also states that the movie is not poking fun at Jihad or any other such Islamic thoughts. He further adds, “The film deals comically with issues like Islamophobia, the Big American Dream and the war against terror. Since Ali is neither a terrorist nor a racist, but someone who's neutral, it made perfect sense to throw light on these situations through his experience as a struggling journalist.”

The movie is releasing on July 16 and it will be released as ‘Tere Bin’ in Pakistan, keeping in view the present tensions at the place. While the movie is releasing worldwide except in the US with the same title.
