Naseersaab plays a local don. After Khuda Ke Liye, this is his second Pakistani film so far,&rdquo; informs a source. The film will be screened under Viewing Room section as per the Film Bazaar recommendations. &ldquo;I am looking forward to my visit to India and be present at the event,&rdquo; adds producer Manzar Zaidi. &ldquo;This will help and encourage the other film makers also in Pakistan.&rdquo; Nabi, who is looking after the film&rsquo;s releases in other countries says from Lahore, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a collective honour for the entire film fraternity in Pakistan. I will not be able to come for this screening but most probably I will be present for the Kerala Film Festival in December.&rdquo; u00a0

Pakistani cinema is going through an interesting phase and what's more interesting is the presence of Indian names in the changing trends.
