Na Maloom Afraad (Urdu: نا معلوم افراد; meaning Unidentified Persons), is a 2014 Pakistani comedy thriller film co-written and directed by Nabeel Qureshi as his directorial debut. It stars Javed Sheikh, Fahad Mustafa, Mohsin Abbas Haider with supporting cast of Urwa Hocane, Kubra Khan and Salman Shahid. The story follows Shakeel (Sheikh), Farhaan (Mustafa) and Moon (Haider), three poor struggling individuals who chase every possible means of becoming rich, all getting into trouble as they struggle to fulfill their desires and ambitions through questionably moral ways.
Most of the Na Maloom Afrad shots were filmed in real locations of Saddar Town, maintaining the authenticity of scenes and staying true to actual content; many elements of post-production required consideration before principal photography. The script was written years before the shooting, the cast went through meticulous rehearsals, and it became the one of few films that is developed completely in Pakistan. The film was shot in Karachi during January 2014 with a budget of ₨9 crore (US$860,000) jointly franchised by Hum Films, Filmwala Pictures and Eveready Pictures. It premiered the following year in November where it closed the South Asian International Film Festival 2014.
