Life on the Edge
All the earners in Abdul's family ceased to work during the lockdown. Many problems arose at home. His elder brother Naeem began making undergarments after months of stress. A successful outcome resulted from the work. In the present day, the family owns a factory that produces underwear. Several members of his family and relatives make up the crew. All of them struggled with socio-economic and socio-political issues, and so they decided to risk their lives to earn and feed their families.
He stays in the game as long as every time he drives thanks to Abdul's passion and talent. To earn respect in society, he is doing the work against all odds. Rather than letting his son pursue this career, he wants him to pursue education. Throughout his life, he contemplates different ideas. Though he has faced hardships throughout his life, despite his talent and passion, he believes he is a celebrity!

His commitment to protecting, preserving, and promoting human expression, literature, culture, and the film is unwavering.
I made this film because this art of riding appealed to me in many ways. Passion for their lives began with the thrill of their work and the struggle and hard work that accompanied it. Everyone enjoys watching them perform for entertainment, but nobody tries to comprehend their reality. This film belongs to all the daredevils of this world who are living on the edge to entertain us.
