Karachi Se Lahore did good business while no one kept very high expectations. The Ayesha Omar, Shahzad Sheikh and Yasir Hussain starrer comedy got the second instalment after that. With Saba Qamar starring as the leading lady, Yasir Hussain became the male lead after doing a supporting role in the first one.

The film is getting the third instalment now and Zara Noor Abbas will be starring in the project. She posted this on her Instagram as she expressed her excitement for the film:

The film will hit the cinemas on Eid ul Fitr next year. Let’s wait and see if this is better than the previous ones or not?

Amjad Khan, the director of Gul Makai – a film on the life of Nobel Laureate Malala Yousafzai, has now revealed that he didn’t ask for consent from the Yousafzai family.

Talking about it, he commented,

“No, I haven’t. But I think she and her family know that an Indian film director is making a film about her. But yes, I wish to show her the film once it is releasing.”

He went on to talk about the challenges he faced,

“I would say it is tough to make a biopic when people know the main story of an individual that I am making a film on. After Malala was attacked, how she survived and continued her journey thereafter is known to people, because everything has been documented afterwards.”

He further added that he will be focusing more on the back story,

“So, I started my story in the film with the back story of how the Taliban took control over Pakistan’s Swat Valley and how that affected children of that area, including Malala.”

Khan says he went through research for two years along with a Pakistani author before he finalised the script as he was quite extra cautious about everything. He added,

“I have shown things exactly the way they happened, and yet it is not a documentary but a good watch. I had to find the balance as I had to be factually correct and at the same time entertain,”

However, Khan has decided to donate the first day worldwide theatrical collection of the film to Malala Fund to support the cause of children education.

The film, featuring Reema Shaikh in the key role, also features Divya Dutta and late Om Puri in a pivotal role. It is releasing at the end of this year.

People started a lot of rumours after Imran Khan won in the General Elections 2018 about Amir Khan visiting Pakistan. Back in 2013, Amir Khan said at a social event that he will visit Pakistan to celebrate if Imran Khan wins the elections. And now after PTI’s victory, fans were waiting for f Amir will attend the oath-taking ceremony of Prime Minister to be Imran Khan.

Amir has finally answered the question that he is not coming to Pakistan. The actor said that he has not received any invitation to attend the ceremony and he is already busy with some commitments he has with a charity foundation he works with.

Later, the foreign office also confirmed that no VVIP leaders will be invited plus PTI also confirmed not inviting any celebrity to the ceremony as they want to keep it simple!

Ali Zafar and Meesah Shafi’s harassment controversy is known to all. It all started with a tweet from Meesha’s handle and later the beef made headlines all over the world. The legal battle has apparently come to an end as the Governor has rejected Meesha’s case on technical grounds.

Meesha filed a complaint with the Governor of Punjab under  Protection Against Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2010. But she was not working under any contract at the time the said harassment happened which made the act non-applicable. Consequently, her case was dismissed.

Ali’s fans are happy for him after the development but at the same time, many people are confused and furious with the technicalities of the law system.

Meesha’s legal team will, however, take the case elsewhere now and will appeal on another forum to get justice!

Everyone is in election fever right now. Some are celebrating the victory of their favourite party while others are just in despair. However, one thing which looks quite clear now is that Imran Khan is our next Prime Minister. One more thing which Pakistanis can never let go is their love for Imran Khan and ex-wife Jemima.

Jemima and Imran are for sure goals because of the way they have maintained respect for each other and the way Jemima has always supported Imran even after the couple parted ways. For these reasons, Pakistanis always have loved Jemima. Now, with the oath-taking ceremony approaching, Gohar Rasheed has requested foreign ministry to invite Jemima as she has been a friend to Pakistan. Here is what he said:

Moammar Rana made his comeback in Pakistani films with Azaadi. The film which released this Eid ul Fitr was based on the war of Independence in Kashmir and had Sonya Hussyn in the lead role. Azaadi performed better than expectations at the box office. Now, Rana is claiming that he has not been fully compensated. This is what he posted:

Irfan Malik, however, has denied these claims. He posted a response on Facebook too:

Hello All! Hope u are doing well. Imran Khan said it right! we are a nation of donkeys and start following and commenting on a narrative or issue we know nothing about. Quran says when u hear a news, check the authenticity before u comment or form an opinion. To clarify 1) I produced the Film and not ARY so lets keep ARY out of it as they only distributed the film. 2) Mr. Moammar Rana comes from a good family and should not be stooping this low for Rs. 50,000 or is the balance Rs. 70,000/- or was that also adjusted on account of some tickets?. Ill not stoop to the same level and talk details) I gave him a fee for Azaadi that he never received and never will receive for a film before or after AZAADI so i really dont know what he is talking about. 3) I was under the impression that the status was about thanking me to give him a lead role in a project that brought him respect after such a long time but anyway my best wishes remain with my friend Mr. Moammar Rana. Regds.

Let’s hope this feud ends soon!

During a media event in late 2012, Aamir had told Imran Khan that he would visit Pakistan to celebrate his victory if he came into power.

Aamir had said,

“When you win the election, I will definitely come [to Pakistan] to celebrate your victory. And I will bring lots of Indians with me,” 

Imran Khan is set to become the next prime minister as his party led the National Assembly tally with 116 seats as the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) released results of all 270 NA seats that were polled on July 25 across the country.

Singer-cum-actor Ali Zafar has reminded Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan of his promise to visit Pakistan if cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan came into power.

He tweeted in response to a fan’s request,

“Aamir Khan, I think it’s time :),” 

@aamir_khan I think it’s time :). https://t.co/EF0t5mPkf5

— Ali Zafar (@AliZafarsays) July 26, 2018

Given the anti-Pakistan establishment in India right now it looks like Aamir Khan wouldn’t be able to stay true to his word but then again the universe works in mysterious ways so who knows.

Pakistanis are making a name for themselves and portraying a soft image of Pakistan all over the world. Many of our artists have made a name for themselves in Hollywood too. Laraib Atta, a visual effects artist is one of them. The daughter of one of the most legendary singers of Pakistan, Attaullah Khan Esakhelvi, Laraib got into visual effects and made a name for herself at a very young age of 19. She has worked since then on movies like Sweeney Todd, The Chronicles Of Narnia, X-Men: Days Of Future Past.

The talented artist is now a part of Mission Impossible Fallout and is still making Pakistan proud. Laraib loves her work and aims to get more youngsters and Pakistanis motivated to get into the industry.

A huge congratulation to Laraib on her successful career and may she keeps making Pakistan proud!

A huge controversy went down recently when Imran Abbas and Farhan Saeed showed disappointment on stars flying to Toronto for Hum Awards and not staying in Pakistan to vote. Imran Abbas was then targeted by Yasir Hussain who by the way thinks ke do baar vote kiya kuch nahin hua to abb to na diya to kya hogaya. Many people started talking about boycotting the upcoming Hum Awards. Imran Abbas has now clarified his stance on the whole scenario. This is what he said:

Hum Awards are getting a lot of hate since the celebs started flying for rehearsals to Toronto. Hum has however also given their stance on the situation!

So, the election results are here and we have seen some major upsets in every province of Pakistan. After millions came out to vote and choose their next leader, Chairman Pakistan Tahreek e Insaaf, Imran Khan is our new Prime Minister. PTI has won with the majority in KPK and they may form a government in Punjab too. However, the most surprising result in the whole country is from the city of light Karachi. With the majority win on National Assembly as well as Provincial Assembly seats, PTI has emerged as the major political force in Karachi. Aamir Liaquat Hussain has won on PTI ticket from NA-245. Another person from the showbiz community who contested the election on PTI ticket was Syed Abbas Jafri who is a well-known model and he has won a seat in the Provincial Assembly of Sindh. He thanked the people from his constituency on Facebook:

It is great to watch people from other walks of life to contest in elections and try to work for the betterment of Pakistan. Congratulations to Abbas on winning in PS-125 from our side!
