Project Peshawar is a 2017 Pakistani multilingual suspense thriller film. It incorporated Pashto, Urdu, Dutch, and English language. It was Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's first internationally released film.[1][2][3] Project Peshawar was particularly popular in global media because Peshawar, the capital of the province,[4] was under militant rule for years.

Project Peshawar is a blend of eastern and western cultures, highlighting the negative side of modern-day social media.[5][6] The film also highlights the importance and legacy of the city of Peshawar at national and international levels.[7] Project Peshawar revived Pashto cinema due to its production quality and talented cast members.[8][9][10][11]
