CHICAGO: Studio Elite, Chicago presented a star-studded Red Carpet Premiere of the blockbuster Pakistani feature film, “Jawani Phir Nahi Ani (JPNA)”, on Saturday September 26 at Holiday Inn, Skokie, a northwest suburb of Chicago

The event was attended by over 500 guests and special invitees from different walks of life. Faisal Niaz Timizi, Consul General of Pakistan, was the Guest of Honor.

The star cast of the film, who attended the premiere, welcomed the guests to the event and also thanked them for the love and affection showered on them.

“JPNA is an outright commercial film, with the performances par excellence. This ‘paisa vasool’ film, which scores full marks on the entertainment meter, makes sure that you laugh out loud and enjoy thoroughly the 150-minute experience”, said Humayun Saeed, co-producer of the film and one of the lead actors.

Saeed said that the movie has witty dialogues, catchy humor, and an array of party songs to groove to. “With a star-studded cast, exotic locations, and the promise of plenty of entertainment, JPNA turned out to be this Eid’s biggest release”, added Saeed.

“Pakistan has been producing world class dramas, and now with films like JPNA, we will do great in the domain of movies too”, said Javed Shaik, who essayed an important character in the film.

“While Indian movies have been making high impact, considering their huge budget, state-of-the-art technology, and larger-than-life sets, a movie like JPNA has the potential to capture the imagination of moviegoers on account of its gripping storyline, mesmerizing screenplay, and emotionally-strong content”, added Shaik.
Humayun Saeed, Javeed Shaik, Sabia Ali, Mahwif Haya and others, urged film-lovers in the US in general and in Chicago in particular to watch JPNA, along with their family and friends, without fail.

Pakistan Consul General Faisal Timizi expressed the hope that comedy films like JPNA will not only entertain people from the Indian Subcontinent in the US but would also further enrich mutual understanding, friendship, and cultural sensitivity among them.

JPNA revolves around three buddies whose lives are literally miserable because of their wives. Their friend, a divorce lawyer, decides to take them to a ‘boys-only’ trip to Bangkok to bring some spice and excitement into their lives, which results in hilarious comedy.

The movie features such heavyweights as Humayun Saeed, Vasay Chaudhry, Ahmad Butt, Hamza Ali Abbasi, Ismail Tara, Javed Sheikh, Sarwat Gilani, Mehwish Hayat, Uzma Khan, Ayesha Khan, and Bushra Ansari.

The film written by Vasay Chaudhry and directed by Nadeem Baig, has been produced by Salman Iqbal, Humayun Saeed, Shahzad Nasib, and Jarjees Seja, under production banner of Six Sigma Plus.

Mrs Haniya, wife of Consul General, congratulated and wished best of luck to The Red Carpet Event and Jawani Phir Nahi Ani team.
