Pakistan Film Industry is on the roll, as one film after another is being announced. 2016 is going to be another big year for the local cinema with big releases such as Lahore Sey Aagay, Mah-e-Meer, Janaan, Yalghaar, Two Plus Two, Balu Mahi and many more are in the lineup.
Joining this race comes another movie named Actor In Law, by none other than everyone’s favorite director-producer duo Nabeel Qureshi and Fizza Ali Meerza of Na Maloom Afraad fame. Actor in Law is a comedy film with a commentary on the social issues in its core. The lead pair of the film includes the energetic host of Jeeto Pakistan Fahad Mustafa and sizzling Mehwish Hayat, both of whom have earlier shared the screen in an item number in NMA.
The film just got the release date, as revealed by the director Nabeel Qureshi. It is scheduled to release this year on Eid-al-Azha (September).
The veteran Bollywood actor Om Puri is also making his debut in Lollywood with this film. Om Puri had earlier said that he signed the film because of the script being ‘different and unique’. He also shared that the title of the film ‘Actor In Law’ was suggested by him.
