Director-writer Farouq Mengal was exonerated from his deceased wife Afreen Baig’s murder case in 2009 when a sessions court put an end to the ‘whodunit’ story. He however did spend time in confinement at Central Prison Karachi and that is where he conceived his debut feature film – Hijrat. “I came up with the idea of the film when I was behind bars,” he told The Express Tribune.
