Rocketman Films is a Pakistani independent production company founded in 2015 by writer-director Ammar Rasool and producer Casim Mahmood. The two have worked together for over twenty five years, first across leading advertising agencies including JWT, McCann and Publicis as a creative director and art director team. Since founding Rocketman Films in 2015 they have directed and produced close to seventy television commercials for major local and international brands. The company was associate producer on Neelofar, a feature film starring Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan which had a global Release in November 2025.
Neelofar is a fiction feature film starring Pakistan’s biggest actors Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan. It released in theatres in Pakistan and globally in November 2025. The film is a classical love story set in the historical city of Lahore.
Mansoor is a celebrity writer who hasn’t written in twenty years and is somewhat fed up of his constant public engagements. He is visiting Lahore and gets invited to all sorts of events. One day he runs into a blind woman at an eye clinic. Neelofar is this fiery enigmatic beautiful looking woman. She takes Mansoor around the city to her favourite places that he would not get to experience otherwise. She is also recording sound where ever she goes. Mansoor makes the mistake of not telling her who he really is and also writing about their meetings and how he feels about Neelofar. The meetups keep happening and the mistakes keep becoming heavier to carry.
Neelofar was Written and Directed by Ammar Rasool. This is his first feature.
Rocketman Films was the Associate Producer on the project.
KINGDOM'S END is a short that made it to the CAMERIMAGE FILM FESTIVAL, LA SHORT SHORTS and the CANNES SHORT FILM CORNER.
It is based on a short story written by the famous Urdu literary figure SAADAT HASSAN MANTO.
It is about a homeless man who finds temporary lodging at a friend's office who is out of town. A woman calls the office phone number by mistake. Something about their first time interaction intrigues the woman and she calls again. They keep talking for the next few weeks where they start to crave the next conversation.
Things become difficult for the guy when the woman disappears for a few days. At the same time the building security wants him out because his friend has given up the office and it has to be cleaned up for the new tennant.

Ammar Rasool
Writer/ Director
I have been making movies in my head since childhood. Now I make them in real. But still, first they are made in my mind. And the process of converting these stories and moments from my head to a screen is where the magic space exists.

Co-Founder/ Executive Producer
I have always been able to get really good at something once I decide that it just has to be done. I saw an article in a magazine about Eric Clapton and I became a self taught blues guitarist. I taught myself jazz by listening to Coltraine. And then one day I decided I have to make films.
