Interesting facts

Jujji is a 2025 Pakistani independent neo-noir crime thriller film written by Ahmad Umar Ayaz and produced, directed by Habib Shahzad under banner of BHM Films in collaboration with Yugen Studios. The film stars Muhammad Arslan as the titular Jujji alongside Mustafa Rizvi and Anjum Habibi. The story is loosely inspired by a real case of a serial killer masseur in Rawalpindi named Ejaz alias Jajji who allegedly killed clients while giving them a massage.

Production

Director Habib Shahzad developed the project independently without major studio backing. The film was self-financed, drawing inspiration from a local criminal incident, and was completed in 2024 although it initially struggled to secure theatrical distribution in Pakistan due to the absence of major stars.

After screenings at local festivals, the film was acquired by United States-based distributor Buffalo 8.

Filming took place entirely on location in Rawalpindi using real alleys, neighbourhoods and police stations, with minimal artificial lighting to emphasise a grounded visual style.
