  • Fahad Mustafa announces the celebrity captains for ‘Jeeto Pakistan League’

    Jeeto Pakistan host, Fahad Mustafa has unveiled the five celebrity captains for the Jeeto Pakistan League, which will take place in the month of Ramzan.

    According to his announcement, Humayun Saaed will be the captain for Karachi Lions, Sarfaraz Ahmed for Quetta Knights, Adnan Siddiqui for Lahore Falcons, Shaista Lodhi for Peshawar Stallions and Sana Javed for Islamabad Dragons.

    The year’s edition of the popular gaming show has been reinvented keeping in mind the coronavirus outbreak and calls for social distancing. PEMRA had earlier also banned TV shows from having any live audiences in their studios and has prohibited displaying cars, bikes and other appliances on the show since many people are suffering from financial issues due to the lockdown.

    According to ARY, the five teams will compete against each other live every day, just like in a cricket match. New people will play games on the show as part of different teams while maintaining social distancing and whoever makes more runs in a day will score more points.

    In the end, there will be a final play-off. Live callers will be able to call in and support their particular cities. The tagline of the show is also: ‘Ab khelega poora Pakistan!’

    The coronavirus pandemic has forced major changes in all industries across the world. Ramzan shows, in particular, have been majorly impacted by the pandemic.

    Pakistani movies releasing in 2020

    2019 was not a very lucrative year for the Pakistan film industry. Films were few and not entirely up to the mark. The highest-grossing film of the year, Superstar, made only PKR 30 crores at the box-office.

    2020 looks promising in terms of the film industry with more than a handful of releases expected to release this year. Moreso, a lot of favourite TV actors including Imran Ashraf and Junaid Khan will also be making their debut this year. Here is a list of all the film that have been announced.

    Zindagi Tamasha

    Sarmad Khoosat’s controversial film Zindagi Tamasha is the first release of 2020. The film is expected to tackle some serious issues regarding religion and societal stigmas.

    Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad

    Mahira Khan and Fahad Mustafa’s first project together has fans excited. Given that the duo behind Load Wedding and Actor in Law, Nabeel Qureshi and Fizza Ali Meerza, are helming this project, anticipation levels are high. The film is expected to release around Eid.

    Fatman

    Nabeel Qureshi and Fizza Ali Meerza’s other project is a superhero film titled Fatman with Ahmed Ali Butt in the lead role.

    Speaking exclusively about the film to The Current, Ahmad had said, “It’s a different and bold take on superhero films but at the core, it is a story about a father-son relationship.”

    He added, “It also addresses body shaming, yet keeps the family entering factors in mind.”

    Kamli

    Saba Qamar is returning to the silver screen with Sarmad Khoosat’s Kamli. Though there is not much known about the film as yet, we are sure it’ll be a must-watch. Shooting has wrapped up and the film is currently in its post-processing stage. It is expected to release on Eid-ul-Fitr.

    Money Back Guarantee (MBG)

    Faisal Qureshi’s star-studded film MBG is expected to be a mad comic caper. It starres Fawad Khan, Mikaal Zulfiqar, Wasim Akram and Gohar Rasheed among others. Given that Faysal is directing the film, we’re sure it’ll be a laughing riot.

    Sorry: A Love Story

    Produced by Faysal Qureshi, Sorry will mark the actor’s comeback on the big screen. Directed by Sohail Javed, the film stars Faryal Mahmood, Aamina Sheikh and Zahid Ahmed in the cast.

    A lot of other films are also supposedly in the works but details on them are limited which is why they haven’t been included on the list. In a lot of cases, films are announced and later shelved.

    Here’s to hoping that 2020 is the year Pakistani cinema grows even bigger and audiences have plenty of movies (good ones of course) to watch on the big screen.

    The shoot for Fahad Mustafa’s upcoming film Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad, in which he will be sharing the screen with Mahira Khan for the first time, has begun before time and both the leads are sharing behind the scenes snippets from the sets.

    Fahad shared a video of himself practising his action stunts. The actor can be seen doing a backflip before going into an attack position.

    Have to say the video has us intrigued.

    Here’s a picture of Mahira reportedly from the sets of the film.

    Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad will be directed by Nabeel Qureshi and produced by Fizza Ali Meerza. The duo have previously delivered hits including Load Wedding and Actor in Law – both of which had Fahad in the lead.

    Speaking to The Current, Nabeel had shared that the film will be a satirical action-comedy – something along the lines of their previous film Actor in Law.

  • Fahad Mustafa calls out ‘kuttas’ biting the nation

    Fahad Mustafa calls out ‘kuttas’ biting the nation

    It appears that the current political scenario in Pakistan is irking actor Fahad Mustafa, who took to social media to express his frustration.

    Without taking any names, Fahad lashed out at the “so called leaders of Pakistan” tweeting, “National TV is all about how kuttay is qaum ko kat rahay hain. We have let too many kuttas out for so long it’s time to pay the price no surprises there.” (National TV is all about how dogs are biting his nation. We have let too many dogs out for so long, it’s time to pay the price.)

    Fahad’s followers appeared to agree with him.

    Earlier, sharing a video of students beating up a professor in Multan, Fahad had said, ‘What a shame. What have we become.”

    ‘Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad’: What will Mahira & Fahad’s film be about?

    The biggest ‘entertainment’ news of the week has to be Mahira Khan joining Nabeel Qureshi and Fizza Ali Meerza’s upcoming film Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad as the leading lady.

    Though the film had been announced earlier with Fahad Mustafa as the hero, the makers of the film had remained tight-lipped about the heroine and had said that the search for her was on. But that was until Tuesday evening when director Nabeel made the announcement.

    Speaking to The Current, Nabeel said that he was very excited to have Mahira onboard.

    “Both the actors fit in the characters perfectly,” Qureshi said.

    Sharing further details about the film, Nabeel said that the film will be a satirical action-comedy – something along the lines of their previous superhit film Actor in Law, which also had Fahad as the lead.

    The film will mostly be shot in Karachi and is expected to release in 2020 on Eid ul Azha.

    Fans had been eagerly anticipating Mahira and Fahad’s pairing on the big screen, particularly after Mahira came on Fahad’s Jeeto Pakistan in May. Looks like their wish has finally been heard.

    Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad will be Fahad, Nabeel and Fizza’s fifth project together – the trio has given us Na Maloom Afraad 1 & 2, Actor in Law and Load Wedding previously.

    Meanwhile, promotions for the film have already begun and the filmmakers have started teasing audiences with short videos like the one of Mahira asking Fahad why he used to say that she doesn’t want to work with her.

    “Bolo haan keh naa“, has been a tagline in most tweets.

    Mahira’s last film was Superstar which released this year while Fahad was last seen on the big screen last year in Load Wedding and Jawani Phir Nai Aani 2.
