KARACHI: Jawed Sheikh Films hosted a cast meet-up for their upcoming project, titled ‘Wajood’ in the Main Atrium of the prestigious Ocean Mall in Karachi, on Sunday.
Jawed Sheikh was in attendance himself, and was joined at the event with his co-stars including fellow living legends Shahid and Nadeem.
“I cannot express how excited I am in returning to the big screen,” Shahid said.
“I would like to convey this credit to my dear friend Jawed, for encouraging me to
make a comeback.”
Frieha Altaf, Danish Taimur, Saeeda Imtiaz, Aditi Singh, Ali Salim, Faiza Khan, Shaheen Khan, Asad Mahmood rounded off this ensemble cast. Jawed Sheikh, a true asset of the Pakistani film industry, will be directing the project himself, much to the eager excitement of the general public.
The occasion was galvanised further due to the fact that Sheikh is returning to the director’s chair after a long hiatus from working behind the scenes.
To this, Jawed Sheikh added, “This is the first time, after my last directorial endeavour ‘Yeh Dil Apka Hua’ and ‘Khulay Aasmaan Ke Neechay’ that I have felt such a strong pull towards the cinematic process. Everything about this movie inspired me to my core; the music, the script, my fellow cast. We eagerly anticipate the start of production.”
Shooting of the film will commence from today (Tuesday), in Pakistan with the second spell being conducted in Antalya, Turkey later this year.
