    “If there’s a dead body in the house (nation), one expresses grief but these celebrities are enjoying in Toronto instead.”

    “For the sake of publicity some celebrities post statements on social media but that doesn’t articulate into practical help.

    She added, “I am not saying to donate everything that you have but at least show concern and help in being the victims’ voice.”

    Apart from Sharmila, former actor Noor Bhukari also expressed her disappointment with local celebrities for snubbing the flood crises in the country.

    Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar’s controversial audio tape with a woman gets leaked

    Senior writer-director Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar has landed in hot waters due to his leaked audio tape with an anonymous woman.

    In the conversation, the woman, whose identity remains uncertain, can be heard saying that as per their mutual understanding, she wanted to meet him; however, her skeptical husband didn’t let it happen.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Xrugolax4g

    The women even told him that after that, her relationship with her husband had turned soar and they were not talking to each other.

    Thus, she attempted to convince Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar to have belief in her and also told that if he agreed, she would send him her picture showing that she was ready to step outside of her house to meet him but the writer scolded her and even used explicit words.

    Qamar has married twice – initially to Rubi Naz and later to Rozina Qureshi.

    Recently actress Resham shared her stance on Khalil-ur-Rehman and Mahira Khan’s controversy on Tabish Hashmi’s show Hasna Mana Hai.

    On being asked by the host about her opinion on the writer, Resham said that he is talented when it comes to story telling, however his comments about top actress Mahira Khan are derogatory.

    “He said that he regrets signing Mahira for Sadqay Tumhare, but who is he to sign her?,” she asked.

    It is the producer or the channel’s call to hire an actor and that too of Mahira’s stature. Khalil is just the writer and doesn’t hold the autonomy on over the project’s casting.

    The Naagin star also said that that Qamar likes to connect his name to established stars particularly females to get clout on media.

    Previously Resham took to her Instagram handle to write a scathing comment for Qamar after the latter commented on the Masjid-e-Nabvi incident involving PMLN leaders.

    The Jeeva star said that Khalil has gone mad and he needs to admitted to a mental hospital before he starts biting everyone with his poisonous teeth.

    Writer-Director Khalil-ur-Rehman recently took to his twitter handle to share his take on the Masjid e Nabvi incident involving PML-N. 

    He asked that when was this ordered that we can’t term a thief as one at the holy place?

    Actor Hania Aamir, who is currently riding high on the success of her latest blockbuster drama, Mere Hamsafar, has opened up on comparisons of her and co-star Farhan Saeed’s pairing with Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan’s chemistry from Humsafar.

    Mere Humsafar is special because of the performances: Farhan Saeed

    Mahira and Fawad’s pairing as Khirad and Ashar from Sarmad Khoosat’s Humsafar has been hailed as the best on Pakistani television in the last two decades. The two will be seen together in two major feature films this year, Neelofar and The Legend Of Maula Jatt.

    During another interview with Something Haute, the Sang e Mah diva stated that she was a person who never put herself first, and let the backlash on social media and controversies get the best of her.

    The Titli star said “when new actors enter the industry, they are not really trained for fame or how to handle it, and so people learn via trial and error.”

    Hania advised the viewers not to put their relationships on media because if things do not work out, it is nearly impossible to clarify about what went wrong. She said even people from the industry start weighing in on your life.

    Actress Sadia Faisal reacted to Aamir’s post by saying that celebrities these days even post about when they’re using the loo.

    Earlier this year after Hania’s dancing video from Asim Azhar’s concert went viral, the Jo Tu Na Mila singer made an indirect jibe at Hania with a cryptic post.

    The post didn’t go unnoticed by the young actress as she was quick to respond to it without even mentioning any names.

    When Bollywood unofficially remade ‘Maula Jatt’ with Dharmendra and Shatrugan Sinha

    Blockbuster Lollywood film Muala Jatt starring Sultan Rahi and Mustafa Qureshi is a cult Punjabi language action-musical film directed by Younis Malik and produced by Sarwar Bhatti.

    This movie belongs to a genre which represents the rural culture of Pakistani central Punjab. Its success set the trend of action films being popular in Pakistan and cemented Sultan Rahi as Lollywood’s leading hero.

    Maula Jatt met with a ban not long after its release from the establishment of the time due to its violent content. However, the producer was able to acquire a stay order. The stay order not only gave the film a 2-and-a-half-year run time in cinemas but also helped the film make history as the first Punjabi film to have done so.

    Now its official remake is releasing across the country on October 13th starring the biggest superstars of the country such as Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, Hamza Ali Abbasi and Humaima Malick among others.

    The film, which was initially announced in 2011, has seen many hurdles along the way. Be it the prolonged legal battle or a pandemic, The Legend of Maula Jatt kept getting delayed for one reason or the other. Now, fans and critics are hopeful that the film will finally see the light of the day and will release on the recently announced date, October 13 of this year.

    However not many know that Indian film industry a.k.a Bollywood also remade this cult classic in the 1980s. The Hindi film is Jeene Nahi Doonga, a 1984 Bollywood action film directed by Rajkumar Kohli and starring Raj Babbar, Dharmendra, Anita Raj. The movie is an unofficial remake of Maula Jatt. Dharmendra and Shatrughan Sinha’s characters are based on Sultan Rahi and Mustafa Qureshi’s most famous characters Maula Jatt and Noori Natt.

    Although its not a scene by scene replica but bears striking similarity in terms of plot, depiction and treatment.

    Indian filmmaker and actor Anurag Kashyap recently took to his Twitter handle to laud Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan and Hamza Ali Abbasi starrer, The Legend of Maula Jatt‘s trailer. “Finally the film I’ve loved so much and the film you really want to see, the trailer is out!” the Gangs of Wasseypur director tweeted along with the link to the trailer on YouTube.

    Feature films Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad and London Nahi Jaunga received commercial and critical success at the box office on Eid-ul-Azha.

    Innumerable copies of both films have been sold on the website of the shopping giant, as is evident from the comments section of the website. And it is surprising that such a huge platform would commit a such blatant violation of Pakistan’s piracy laws.

    It is pertinent to mention that Daraz is owned by the multi-billion dollar international giant AliExpress, and that makes AliExpress equally involved in this case.
