Globally popular game Temple Run has upped their game as they’re bringing famous celebrities to the game like Usain Bolt, Bruce Lee, Russell Wilson (NFL Player), Cam Newton (NFL Player) and if rumours are to be believed then the latest one joining the list is Fawad Khan. So, if you’re a Pakistani or an Indian and a Fawad Khan fan then this is surely a great news for you because you’ll probably see your favourite star as a game character. Isn’t that cool?

Imangi Studios, the creators of the game are teasing a new expansion of their popular endless runner game called ‘Lost Jungle’. The new update of the mobile game Temple Run 2: Lost Jungle is strongly rumored to feature Pakistani celebrity, Fawad Afzal Khan. The company released a new update and the pictures of the character which has surfaced online clearly resembles to Pakistan’s heartthrob.

However, neither Fawad Khan nor the creator of the game has released an official statement confirming the addition of Humsafar actor. The fact which still remains same is that the character looks exactly like Fawad Khan. Something different which caught our attention is the Hindu lord tattoo on the character’s arm.

One Pakistani actor who always raises his voice in any issue regarding the country or the politics is Hamza Ali Abbasi. He’s one of the most vocal actors in showbiz, is a sought-after TV host with a huge fan following. Hamza is mostly known for his blunt statements which at times have landed him into trouble.

After indulging into a controversy for congratulating Oscar winner Mahershala Ali in a rather confusing message. Once again, Hamza used the power of social media to reach his fans and has a message for all of us. He posted a video message for the whole nation regarding Imran Khan’s ‘Phateechar’ comment. For those who don’t know, Imran Khan stirred a controversy for terming the international players who played in PSL as ‘Phateechar’.

Have a look at what Hamza Ali Abbasi has to say regarding Imran Khan’s comments and reactions:

If you don’t want to watch what Hamza said, allow me break it down for you:

1) Imran Khan passed those comments in a jovial mode in a private discussion and most of us use such words, so what’s the big deal here?
2) Pakistan has bigger and better issues which need our attention. We should discuss about the ongoing problems in our country rather than discussing spicy topics.

Feroze Khan who started his career as a VJ is now a successful model and actor. Apart from giving fulfilling performances, the young actor always dresses to impress as well.

It’s one of those days when you come across musician ruining the precious little we have left of Pakistan’s musical legacy. It’s not like renditions or remakes are bad, but if doing it, why not do it by preserving the legacy of a beautiful folk song.

Rabi Pirzada released her version of Legend Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s classic song ‘Rashke Qamar’ and i hate to admit but it’s actually a disaster and has me in tears ‘of sadness’. The song and the video itself is a kind of torture on a being. However, it’s clear that planning and execution has gone into making the music video but Rabi has devastated and ripped off the beautiful original version.

The woman who was bashing Bollywood for spoiling our youth actually came up with something which was totally unexpected, violence and romancing with a snake?

Raasta is an upcoming Pakistani film starring Sahir Lodhi and produced and directed by Sahir Lodhi.

The trailer of the film received mixed reviews. While some praised Lodhi for his efforts, others called him a wannabe Shah Rukh Khan.

However, a new song of the film is out and we are not sure how we feel about it.

https://youtu.be/MGgQIyh4BB4

The video features Sahir Lodhi and Saida Imtiaz dancing in the middle of the streets as a song close to the tune of Bollywood item songs plays. The duo is dancing with all their energies but in all honesty, the moves are not that impressive.

Apart from the video not being extraordinary, the song isn’t catchy either.

The movie is set to release on 23rd of March, 2017 and we can’t wait to find out how it is received by the audience.

Ayesha Omar recently gave an interview to Instep and talked about films, TV, music and her car accident.

She has an exciting year ahead of her. She has a film coming up as well a music based reality TV show.

“I’m in Lahore these days for the second last spell of shooting for my upcoming movie, Rehbra with Ahsan Khan. We have one more spell in Karachi before the movie is turned over to post production and amusingly enough, it’s set to be released nearly side by side with my other film, Yalghaar around October or so.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BRNyvu4B9Ci/?taken-by=ayesha.m.omar

You can call it a journey of self discovery for my character in the film. Her name is Bubbly and she’s a middle class Punjabi girl who’s very happy go lucky and true to her name until tragedy befalls her and she has to evolve in order to overcome it.

It’s a fun character and a very new look for me. She dresses very differently from what my personal aesthetic is so I’m also quite excited about how the look will be received,” said Ayesha.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BRBBDrQBKTl/?taken-by=ayesha.m.omar

She even talked about the team of production and direction of the film:

“The producers of this film don’t belong to a movie background and this is their first foray into the business so it’s definitely a learning experience. My director, Amin Iqbal has extensive experience with dramas but it’s also his first film. He and his enterprising team of interns are quite creative and innovate a lot which is great and I’ve learnt a lot from them.”

After her films, she has a music based reality TV show coming up too.

When the discussion moved towards her health, she had to say:

“I’ve been walking around with a broken collar bone since my accident over a year ago you see. The doctor wanted to wait six months before operating to see if it would heal on its own but unfortunately that hasn’t been the case with me.

I need an operation to set the bone right and then obviously my movement will be restricted during the time I’m recuperating from the procedure. It’s been quite challenging managing with a broken bone. I was lucky that it wasn’t a weight bearing bone like my leg or my arm but obviously my ability to perform certain tasks is impaired. I can’t even lift a 1.5 litre water bottle with that arm but thank God I’ve managed to complete all my professional commitments,” said Ayesha.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BQfHOnNF09h/?taken-by=ayesha.m.omar

“My character in Rehbra has a very new look. She dresses very differently from what my personal aesthetic is so I’m also quite excited about how the look will be received”, further shared Ayesha.

We hope and wish that our talented and gorgeous actress recovers soon and that all her future projects turn out to be a success.

Junaid Akram is a Pakistani Dubai-based comedian and social commentator who has a huge online following. He often posts videos about his political and social arguments and observations.

He has often expressed in many of his videos how Pakistanis lack the habit of reading hence it seems, Junaid has done something to change that.

He announced on his official facebook page that his followers can ask him to bring them books from Dubai which are not available in Pakistan to promote reading culture. He also said that he doesn’t want people paying him for them but he would like to give them as a gift.

We believe that this gesture by Junaid is not just heartwarming but can also be a move towards building a more intellectual society.

We hope that he gets positive responses and becomes a role model for others to follow.

Karachi You’re Killing me is a novel by Pakistani author, Saba Imtiaz. It was announced sometime back that Bollywood is making a movie based on it starring Sonakshi Sinha.

And now, finally, the trailer of the movie is out and Saba seems very happy with it.

Soon after the trailer was released, Saba took to Twitter to express her excitement and joy.

The movie is an adaption of the novel. You can watch the trailer here:

After the trailer was released online, Saba expressed her excitement on her twitter account:

Followed by her first tweet, the second tweet revealed that she loved everything about the trailer.

Who would’ve thought the young and beautiful Urwa Hocane could impress us so much in such a short span of time. After proving her mettle as an actress in Udaari, the leading Hocane sister has garnered much more attention than ever before. The actress who made her film debut with Na Maloom Afraad in 2014 received positive reviews and has many meaty projects in the pipeline.

And time for a quick selfi with the cast of #punjabnahijaungi @saeedhumayun @mehwishhayatofficial @urwatistic @aryfilmsofficial #sixsigmaplus

A post shared by Ahmad Ali (@ahmedalibutt) on Mar 6, 2017 at 6:48am PST

She has now signed another big project and that is the sequel of her first film Na Maloom Afraad. Yes, you heard it right, Urwa Hocane and Fahad Mustafa are all set to create magic on our screens because Urwa’s publicist confirmed to Images that she has signed the project. This year is surely going to be a big one for the lady since she has signed four films including Humayun Saeed’s Punjab Nahi Jaungi, Jhol, Rangreza and Na Maloom Afraad’s sequel (tentatively titled Na Maloom Afraad 2).

Urwa is confident about the scripts of fer films. “I have only ever done projects that I have firmly believed in. It’s a coincidence and perhaps a blessing that four such brilliant scripts came to me around the same time and I am ecstatic that I got an opportunity to be associated with the best teams in the industry,” she said to Images.

A post shared by URWA Tul Wusqua HOCANE (@urwatistic) on Mar 5, 2017 at 11:54pm PST

When asked how is she juggling so many projects simultaneously, Urwa replied:

“I want my work to consume me fully. It does get tiring sometimes. But when you love your job, every new day brings with it a lot of excitement and hence energy.”

Pakistan is known for it’s hospitality and foreign players were warmly welcomed as they came to Lahore for PSL finals. We all know that, PTI’s chairman Imran Khan was against the decision of holding PSL final in Lahore and his concern was justified. However, Pakistan hosted the event brilliantly and the fool proof security managed to keep the whole country safe. PSL brought cricket back to Pakistan and the whole nation is overjoyed. But recently, Imran Khan made some really racist remarks towards the foreign players who played for PSL final in Lahore. His harsh comments regarding the players were totally uncalled for.

Video of Imran Khan’s press conference which has gone viral over social media shows him criticizing the foreign players who had arrived in Lahore to play the Pakistan Super League Final in the Gaddafi Stadium on Sunday. The cricketer turned politician who is famous for his blunt comments has once again stirred controversy by referring the international players who played PSL final in Lahore as ‘phateechar’. Yes, he literally said that and the whole nation is shocked!

“I don’t know even the name of any of these so-called foreign players. It seems they were just picked up from anywhere like Africa,” he said.

Shooting of Ali Zafar’s Pakistani film debut Teefa In Trouble is going on in full swing. And the leading man is so busy with the shooting that he almost missed the closing ceremony of country’s biggest event of the year PSL’s Final. However, he made it to the finals and rocked the stage.

On Sunday, the former British cricketer Alan Wilkins, was commenting on the PSL final. For those who don’t know, Alan is loved in Pakistan for his PSL commentary and funny Urdu. He couldn’t make it to PSL final in Lahore but managed to entertain his followers through his funny tweets and what more, rock-star Ali Zafar offered him to star in his film.

Khel you khoob jama…la la la la @AliZafarsays Mubarak ho Zalmi aur @JAfridi10 – seetiyan aur taliyan bajoooo….

— Alan Wilkins (@alanwilkins22) March 5, 2017

He further wished good luck to Ali Zafar for his upcoming film.

And @AliZafarsays Dil Se…Mubarak! See you soon! Can't wait to see the new film! ?

— Alan Wilkins (@alanwilkins22) March 5, 2017

Ali Zafar replied and offered Alan Wilkins to do a cameo in Teefa in Trouble.

Why don't you come do a cameo @alanwilkins22 ;) https://t.co/uvEDokSj44

— Ali Zafar (@AliZafarsays) March 6, 2017

It’s evident from these tweets that Ali and Alan share a close bond. On Peshawar Zalmi’s win, Ali even invited the cricketer to party with him.

Alan. Chal party kereign. Aaja. https://t.co/13oQBYRuGE

— Ali Zafar (@AliZafarsays) March 5, 2017

Alan’s reply is still awaited. However, if he agrees, Ali Zafar’s upcoming film Teefa In Trouble will be an even more big deal.

A lot of people were divided over the fact that whether the final match of Pakistan Super League (PSL) should be held in Lahore, Pakistan.

While some debated over the growing terrorism here and how keeping the match in our city would be unsafe for locals as well as the foreign players and Pakistan’s international image, others deemed it necessary to hold it here to showcase resilience and to bring back international cricket in Pakistan.

As the debates and arguments continued, the day of the match finally arrived yesterday and it was held in Lahore only.

Fortunately, the match went by smoothly and everything came to an end peacefully. After everything was done successfully, Mira Sethi, the daughter of Najam Sethi posted a heartwarming status about the whole thing on her facebook account.

Najam Sethi is the chairman of PSL who fought till the end to have a successful final day of PSL at Lahore.

Mira Sethi perfectly penned down how it felt to be a Pakistani last night when the crowd expressed its happiness over the return of international cricket in Pakistan and cheered for it with all their heart.

Mira’s status also talks about the hardwork Najam Sethi had put in to the whole thing and she also beautifully expressed the sentiments of all proud Pakistanis.

We can’t help but admire the way Mira beautifully summed up the feelings of all Pakistanis in a single status.

The Supreme Court on Monday permitted Amir Liaquat to host Bol News TV show ‘Aisay Nahi Chalay Ga’ on the condition that the content which will be aired shouldn’t have any hate speech.

PEMRA had issued a notification calling for a ban on Amir Liaquat and his show on Jan 27 after it surfaced on the social media that he has put allegations of blasphemy during his show on civil society activists and bloggers who had disappeared

A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Saqib Nisar, said a complete video of the episode and the content contained therein must be submitted to the office of the additional registrar (judicial). It warned that serious action would be taken in case any violations of the court order. All high court orders regarding the issue are now suspended.

The court issued the decision after a hearing on Pemra’s appeal against the Islamabad High Court (IHC) judgement last week which suspended the Pemra ban on the show.

The sounds of Kolachi along with Ali Gul Pir went to the shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar recently to give a symbolic reply of peace and tolerance to the extremists and terrorists after the suicide bombing attack there.

The Express Tribune got into touch with Ahsan Bari, the Music Director at Sounds of Kolachi who had to say:

“Such is the magic of Lal’s teachings that every singer in the country has to sing Dama Dam Mast Qalandar during a concert to captivate the audience.”

Last week, two dahamaals took place at Lal’s shrine. One was the usual one by the locals and the visitors and one by Bari’s band.

“I visited Qalandar’s shrine a year ago and was actually overpowered by the aura I experienced there. I could only wonder that if Lal has this much power today then what would have been the scenario when he was alive and met the people in person,” expressed the musician.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BRRHPbKBMSI/

When asked about the reason behind terrorists attacking this peaceful place, he had to say:

“There has always been a dispute between different schools of thought as to what is the right way of connecting with God. These saints attract people to their shrines through their teachings and the mesmerising culture of Urs and that is what the terrorists don’t like.”

Gul Muhammad has been playing Sarangi for 13 years added something profound and spiritual:

“There are two ragas in music – Behro and Mand – which if played can telltale the lives of Sufi saints and even the battle of Karbala.”

Abid Brohi, the rapper from Sibbi who collaborated with SomeWhatSuper with the Sibbi Song through the platform of Patari made his voice and presence heard and felt.

The song took the social media by a storm. It was part of Tabeer, a project by Patari which aimed to feature those voices of Pakistan which would never find big platforms. It featured office boys and people from rural and working class backgrounds.

Instep got into touch with Abid Brohi and Talha Dar and Feroze Faisal from SomeWhatSuper related to his newfound fame and success.

Brohi had to say:

“People used to laugh at me, everyone would just tell me to give up; ‘this will not take you anywhere in life’ they said to me.”

Whatever he was earning wasn’t enough for him to travel far in order to meet musicians who would appreciate his talent. He talked about the kind of jobs he was doing:

“I was working in a cloth store for Rs.100 a day. I then shifted to Quetta and got a better paying job that gave me Rs.6000 per month.”

He even tried his best to reach Lahore and he did when a Pakistani established musician invited him. However, when he reached Lahore, the musician was unavailable on his cellphone and later, Brohi found out that the musician wasn’t even in the country. Brohi expressed:

“I was so heartbroken that day. I came all the way to Lahore facing so many difficulties. I had really high hopes.”

Later, a documentary filmmaker met him at Sibbi’s  annual mela.

“Raza (Shah) met Brohi and heard him sing. He then recorded his vocals and sent them over to us, and we started working on the song,” shared Dar with instep.

“I kept pestering SomeWhatSuper for a whole year then,” said Brohi.

And, after a year, he received a phone call to come to Karachi.

“I was prepared this time. I asked for the contact details of at least five, six other people. Someone or the other had to answer my call!”

And hence, the Sibbi song came into being.

“One day my brother came running to tell me I’m on TV. And there I saw myself. I couldn’t believe it. I started shivering and crying out of happiness. My dream had finally come true.I couldn’t even eat for a whole week because I was so happy!”

This response by Brohi is rather heartwarming and amazing.

All three of them now have corporates lined behind them wanting to work with them. SomeWhatSuper is currently working on a film’s soundtrack while Brohi has a big corporate project to look forward to.

“My friends now call me ‘kadday’ jokingly from the song’s line ‘Kadday milda se’ meaning when will we meet again?” concluded Brohi.

Like every year, the month of March holds the NAPA international Theatre and Music Festival in Karachi. The festival consists of performances of various and national and international theatre groups.

This time around, the festival is scheduled from March 16, 2017 and will last for 18 days and will end on the 2nd of April.

Artists and their work from Palestine, Germany, Italy,Nepal, England, America and Pakistan will be featured this year.

24 shows are supposed to be held, out of which over 15 performances will be from Pakistan and the remaining are international.

The schedule on their official social media page, the festival shall be opened with a dance performance by Brigel Gjoka from Germany called Hotel Propoganda.

The closing performance will be a contemporary music performance, Music Must by Arsalan Pervaiz.

Apart from these other works of art that will be featured in the festival are Absolute Manto by Sarmad Khoosat (theatre production), ‘Aaj Rang Hai’ by Ahsan Shabbir (qawwali) and many others.

Hamza Ali Abbasi, the talented and versatile actor has been pulling off his bearded look since some time but his latest look might be a little different but still praise-worthy.

Latest pictures of Hamza have surfaced on the internet and they show him in a clean shave look.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BROuf04laAj/

The handsome actor is playing a pilot in his upcoming movie, Parwaz Hai Junoon hence the no beard look.

A video posted by Hamza’s fitness trainer has shown his transformation journey.

https://www.facebook.com/HassaanMahmoodOfficial/videos/615125538697033/

We must admire the effort and hardwork Hamza puts in and proves himself as a dedicated actor.

As much as we loved the macho beared Hamza, we can’t help but gush over the new fresh look of his too.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BROuf04laAj/

This new transformation will easily pass him as an air force man and not to forget, he looks way younger in this look too.

Pakistani star Meera is yet again making headlines. According to rumours doing rounds, Meera was barred from entering Gaddafi Stadium since she wasn’t carrying tickets for the event. However, she has finally responded to rumours that claimed she was stopped from attending last night’s PSL final in Lahore and had to settle for watching the match at home as she was denied entry after all her efforts!

According to Meera, she was stopped by the police from entering the Gaddafi Stadium on Sunday. “I had not purchased the tickets myself, yes, because I had just returned from Dubai and wasn’t feeling well. In fact, I spent the day getting a body massage to feel better,” she told The Express Tribune. “But I came to the stadium because my sponsors wanted me to and for the sake of my fans who were waiting there for me. My sponsors had arranged V-VIP tickets but they were inside Gaddafi stadium and I was outside.”

Meera continued, “The issue was that the tickets were with the financiers. When I got to the stadium, the police officials present stopped me and asked me to show them my tickets. Thankfully, my sponsors came out and took me inside with them. I watched the match live from the V-VIP lounge.”

Initially, Nigar Awards were the only awards that gave recognition to the Pakistani film industry. Now, after 12 years, the prestigious awards were all set to make a comeback on March 16. However, the 47th Nigar Awards have been postponed. Ever since the organizers announced the comeback of the award ceremony, Nigar is making news for all the wrong reasons.

A post shared by STARLINKS (@starlinkspr) on Feb 14, 2017 at 1:04am PST

First, there was a controversy surrounding the nominations and later another controversy emerged related to the contract issues. Considering these events and in a bid to avoid further issues, the award ceremony has been pushed ahead. Earlier scheduled to take place on March 16, the event will now be rescheduled at a later date (late March or early April).

“Due to unforeseen circumstances and the damage caused because of some rumours against us, we’ve decided to delay it for a few days,” a source close to Nigar Awards told Instep. “It won’t be a good idea to go on with the proceedings amidst so many issues that have been coming our way. Our sponsors and media partners have gotten a bit shaky after what has happened. So it’s better to continue once everything settles down. We’re working on it and the ceremony will be much bigger and better this time.”

A post shared by Pakistani Cinema Official (@pakistanicinemaofficial) on Feb 13, 2017 at 3:41am PST

Speaking about the nominations, the source informed that people couldn’t grasp their system of nominations that they’ve been following for years. The nominations announced initially were entirely based on public poll. The final list will come out on the basis of what the jury decides. Till then, we need to wait for an official announcement.

Imran Abbas has been associated with entertainment industry since more than a decade and his effortless acting and versatility is something we all adore. He creates magic onscreen and is not only recognized in Pakistan but in Bollywood too. For those who don’t know, Imran Abbas made his Bollywood debut with Creature 3d opposite Bipasha Basu. The film didn’t did well at the box office but worked in favour of the chocolate boy as he managed to earn good fan following across the borders and went on to do a cameo in Kjo’s film as well.

We all love our favourite celebrities and it’s always a treat to see them doing something else apart from acting. And Imran Abbas is sharing some beautiful memories with his fans. He shared a throwback video from an Indian comedy show, and he sure made us giggle as he flirted with the dadi. Well oh yes, he sang too.

Last year, six leading filmmakers from both Pakistan and India worked together to celebrate art beyond the borders. 12 short films were made with the intention to be a part of India’s Film festival circuit under Zee Network’s Zeal For Unity project. One of them was Mehreen Jabbar’s ‘Lala Begum’ featuring Marina Khan, Sonya Rehman Qureshi and Humayun Saeed in pivotal roles.

Directed and produced by Mehreen, Lala Begum was part of the Zeal for Unity project and was an attempt to bridge the divide between the two countries. Pakistani filmmakers who were a part of this project were Sabiha Sumar, Khalid Ahmed, Meenu-Farjad, Shahbaz Sumar, Siraj Ul Haq and Mehreen Jabbar.

Lala Begum is yet to release in Pakistan and was scheduled to screen at I am Karachi Festival but was delayed due to lack of security. While Pakistan hasn’t seen Lala Begum yet, the film is all set to release at an international film festival in Texas, U.S.A, it’s surely a proud moment for Pakistan’s entertainment industry.
