Zee5 Omerta Film Story
In 1999, Indian Airlines Flight 814 was hijacked. Pakistan will first take it to Lahore and then to Kandahar. At that time there was a Taliban government in Afghanistan. One of the terrorists whom the terrorists demanded to be released in exchange for hijack was Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh. The same Umar Sheikh story is shown in Rajkumar Rao’s film Omerta. The film is soon to be streamed on the online streaming platform Zee-5.
The film had to struggle a lot to get into the theater. The censor board used a lot of scissors on it. The terrorist Omar Saeed Sheikh shown in the film was sentenced to death by a Pakistani court. However, this was later changed. Omar is accused of carrying out attacks like 9/11 and 26/11. Apart from this, he has also been sentenced for the murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl.
