Imran J Khan, writer and director, is working on his first feature film titled Mustache and has already gathered an ensemble cast for the Pakistani-American coming-of-age film.
Imran J Khan, known for the critically acclaimed short film “Prom,” which was based on concepts from Minhaj’s stand-up special “Homecoming King,” makes his directorial debut with this movie, according to the entertainment website Deadline.
