CHICAGO: Iftekhar Shareef, a front ranking Indian community leader, released the trailer of the

upcoming Hyderabadi film, ‘Dawat-e-Shaadi’, in the presence of a number of elite members of the community on January 8, at Monty’s Elegant Banquets, in Bensenville, a north side suburb of Chicago.

The film, shot in the beautiful and aristocratic locations of Paigah Palace Begumpet, is a hilarious situation-based comedy and gripping love story in the backdrop of the traditional weddings of Hyderabad.

Iftekhar Shareef said that while “Dawat-e-Shaadi” is devoid of vulgarity, it guarantees a high-voltage entertainment and hard-hitting punches, which will be enjoyed by the entire family. “The non-stop laughter ride and the subtle message to the audience would result in a positive word-of-mouth publicity to the film”, he added.

“It is a moment of pride that ‘Dawat-e-Shaadi’, is being distributed and released by Rajshree Productions under its banner in February 2016, with a big bang”, said Syed Hussain, Director of the film.
“The release of our film by Rajshree Productions, which has produced a number of blockbusters in India, will take the Hyderabadi cinema up a notch like never before and catapult it into the higher echelons of film appreciation,” added Hussain.

“While the Hyderabadi film industry has been confining itself, since its inception in 2005, to making small budget films for niche market, ‘Dawat-e-Shaadi’ is pioneering in nature and first of its kind, considering the fact that it is a Bollywood-type big-budget film which is rich in terms of exquisite quality, pan-India appeal, breathtaking locations, and high-end technology” said Saleem Pheku, the king of comedy, who acted in over 20 films and brought laurels to Hyderabad.

“For action and adventure, the movie lovers watch Hollywood films, for songs and dances, they prefer Bollywood films, and for pure and unadulterated comedy, they throng to the Dollywood films, that is, Hyderabadi Films”, said Feku.

“The fans of Hyderabad film industry will definitely bless ‘Dawat-e-Shaadi’ with resounding success, considering its high entertainment quotient”, he added.

All the films of Hyderabad, without exception, registered huge success, both at the box office and in the video market. Considering the Hyderabadi films to be a safe bet, many people came forward to invest in their production. “Dawat-e-Shaadi”, with a blitzkrieg of aggressive promotion and marketing campaign, unleashed by the Rajshree Productions, is poised to break many records of success”, Feku observed

Aziz Naser, the popular and powerful actor with over 15 films under his belt, said that “Dawat-e-Shaadi” will entertain the audiences thoroughly, irrespective of their linguistic background. “The movie lovers of the entire Indian subcontinent, including those from Pakistan, can easily understand the Hyderabadi Urdu, the lingua franca of the streets of Hyderabad, which is a unique mix of Urdu, Hindi, Telugu, and some Marathi”, he added.

Feroz Khan, who has essayed a negative role in “Dawat-e-Shaadi” said that Hyderabadi cinema has come to attain the status of a genre unto itself, not just considering the typical lingo of the City of Pearls, but even given the culture and traditions of the Deccan.

Dawat-e-Shaadi, which has been produced by Australia-based duo, Samiullah Fayyaz and Syed Waseem Yaba, features three heavy weights of the Hyderabad film industry – Mast Ali, Aziz Naser, Feroz Khan, and above all, Adanan Sajid Khan a. k. a. Gullu Dada. Three beautiful leading ladies, Kavya, Madhavi and Manisha too are playing interesting roles in the film.

Artists thanked Iftekhar Shareef for his help, in a variety of ways, in getting the trailer of “Dawat-e-Shaadi” released in Chicago.
