Pakistan's Official Entry to the Oscars.
The film's title, Moor, is a Pashto word meaning "Mother".
The film took eight years from conception to release. Work on the script began in 2007, and the first teaser trailer appeared in 2013, two years before the film's premiere.
Partially filmed in an area of Pakistan's Balochistan province that was under the control of the Taliban militia. Despite their reputation for hard line fundamentalism, the local Taliban even allowed the crew to shoot in their own headquarters, possibly because the film's villains are based upon real life criminal gangs that the Taliban themselves were trying to eliminate in the territory they controlled.
Moor was previously named as Morqaye.
