With celebrating success of Janaan still underway, Hareem Farooq and Imran Kazmi, the co-producers of Janaan, seem to have spared no time in jumping on to their next venture: an all-out comedy film titled Parchi.
Parchi is a situational comedy and is currently in the pre-production phase. The film, produced under the banners of IRK Films, will be directed by Azfar Jafri, who also directed Janaan.
Speaking to Dawn Images Imran Kazmi, film’s one of the producers, gave us a few deets about the upcoming venture. Imran explained that the focus is on making the film lighthearted. “Since it’s a comedy film, we have tried to touch the topic of the film without any serious undertones, so that people can understand it more and have fun with it.”

Parchi features Hareem Farooq as the female lead in a story of “four men who get into a certain situation and seek help from a woman who has the solution since she has the authority and the power,” as revealed by her in an interview to The News on Sunday (TNS).
Having a political element (referring to the title of the film), Hareem promises that “nothing will be in-your-face, it won’t target any particular person.”
So far Hareem Farooq and Janaan co-stars Ali Rehman and Usman Mukhtar have been confirmed as the leads. However, the film is in need of two more lead actors who have yet to be finalized.

Enlightening us a little more about the film, Hareem Farooq, who is co-producing the film and also acting in it, said in the interview to TNS, “The kind of character that Parchi offers me has never been done before. Nobody has had the guts to do a role like that. I play a very strong woman who I personally related to a lot. We’ve given equal mileage to the men and the woman. It’s more about what suits the story.”
Parchi will be shot in Pakistan with background score done by Ahmed Ali and the remaining songs will feature a mix of artists and though it’s a comedy feature, “the content will have a serious and deeper meaning,” according to Imran.
Brace yourself guys! It’s time to mark your calendars for Parchi, which is promised to be released later this year.
