    Maya Ali pens a heartfelt note for her ‘Amma’

    Maya Ali has always been expressive about the bond she shares with her mother and the latest social media post which she has made for her mother is surely the sweetest thing you will see today on the internet.

    The Teefa in trouble actor took to Instagram — a photo and video-sharing social networking platform, to express her love for her Amma and wrote a heartfelt caption, dedicated to her mother.

    She wrote: “With time you grow
    older, and your nature changes but for your parents, you never get older and
    that is the best blessing from ALLAH for all children… Today I was sitting
    with Amma after such a long time and sharing all the things and all of a sudden
    she hugged me and told me how strong I am, and how proud she is of me, and all
    I could say is that Amma “yeh sab app se he to seekha hai” but after this
    emotional episode, I realized one thing, no matter how old you get you always
    need a hug and cuddle from your parents to relax you and make you stronger…
    Amma I love you for everything, for understanding me when I don’t speak a word,
    when I laugh loud and you’re the one who knows I am trying to hide something, for
    those moments when I cry, you’re always by my side and saying, “bass bohat ho
    Gaya rona dhona?”
    for all the times you pray for me.

    She then made a request to all her followers, urging them to take out some time and sit with their parents and listen to them.

    “ We as children can’t return how much they do for us, so I request to all, please try and spare some time for them and listen to them, what they want… They are precious and the most important and most valuable relationships in the world…?”

    Parey Hut Love, which released on Eid ul Azha, was this year’s highest-grossing Pakistani film. Catch The Current‘s review of the film in this video:

  • Eid releases: A starry affair

    Eid releases: A starry affair

    Three major releases, namely Parey Hut Love, Heer Maan Ja and Superstar, are hitting the screens this Eid ul Azha and the excitement and promotions for the films are in full swing. Moreso, all three films have A-listers in their cast. From Mahira Khan to Hareem Farooq, from Sheheryar Munawar to Ali Rehman Khan, the casts of all the films are lit which make them all the more appealing.

    But what’s interesting is that it appears that every member of the Pakistani film industry is part of at least one of three films which makes the films even more starry than before. While Meera Jee and Fawad Khan have cameos in Parey Hut Love, Hania Aamir and Syra Shehroz make an appearance in Superstar. Mikaal Zulfiqar and Ahmed Ali Akbar have guest appearances in Heer Maan Jaa. The names above are just a few and the makers of the film have promised us even more stars.

    Essentially cameos, especially starry cameos, are added to draw more attention towards the films and increase their star value and every film’s director and producer has applied that formula in their films. Basically, this means that even if the films have no storyline, no plot, we’ll still be excited to watch them because you don’t know who’ll pop up onscreen next.

    Nonetheless, The Current asked the makers behind the films to decode this concept for us and this is what they had to say.

    Speaking exclusively to The Current, Asim remarked, “Feature films are made to entertain people and you have to keep looking for any and every possibility on how you can entertain them. Mixing things such as cameos or guest appearances by known faces with characters brings vibrance and excitement that is needed for any film.”

    “This is not the first time that I have done this,” he continued. “In my first feature film, three years ago, Ho Mann Jahaan, I introduced this concept. Why others are doing it, I don’t know, but I’m doing it because I believe in it. It’s a way of adding more entertainment for my viewers.”

    Asim concluded his remarks saying that his films are for the masses and he would do anything that is decently possible to keep them entertained and engaged.

    We also caught the producer of Heer Maan Ja, Hareem Farooq as she was promoting the film and asked her the same. Hareem started off by laughing that this was done to add more star power to the film and make it more attractive for the audiences. She then commented that guest appearances were the need of the film as the script demanded it.

    When asked how the filmmakers decided who to cast, Hareem replied, “Some actors were decided when we were writing the script. So some of the guest roles were written keeping in mind the actor. Others were cast once the script was finalised and we felt that they would be best suited for the role.”

    Looks like this Eid is all about the more the merrier. But hey, we’re not complaining.

    Which film are you most excited for?

    The trailer of Asim Raza’s much-awaited romantic drama Parey Hut Love released Friday and the one thing that caught our attention was the plethora of stars in the film.

    Apart from the star-studded lead cast which includes Sheheryar Munawar, Maya Ali, Zara Noor Abbas, Ahmad Ali Butt, Hina Dilpazeer and Freiha Altaf, there were glimpses of Mahira Khan, Meera, Fawad Khan, Cybil Chowdry and Sonya Jehan in the film.

    And given that it’s an Asim Raza venture, we’re pretty sure there’ll be plenty of more cameos.

    The three-minute trailer was fun, colourful, festive and glamourous and the premise of the film appears to be shaadi – no points for guessing that.
