The launch event, moderated by Aamna Haider Isani, was started with one minute’s silence for sad demise of media’s darling Dr. Aamir Liaqat. Aamna Isani said; “with ‘Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad’, this will first time that we will get to see our two superstars Mahira Khan and Fahad Mustafa sharing the big screen.

Without giving much away, Fahad Mustafa said; “in this film I had work with animals in a song, which was very difficult for me. This film focuses on corruption. We as nation have a corruption denial mode and that is spreading like a cancer. I don’t see it stopping of it any-where or any-soon”.
Nabeel Qureshi, the director ‘Quaid-e-Azam said; “this movie comes with a social message and we can assure that this won’t be an extended drama. This will be a proper movie with special visual effects (VFX) and has a very interesting story that will keep the viewers you glued to their seats”.

It should be noted that under the banner of Filmwala pictures ‘Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad’ will be released on Eid-ul-Adha. It will be a grand launch as we are planning to launch in 14 countries. It will be a huge film, production of which started before covid. I can assure that you will thoroughly enjoy every moment of ‘Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad’.
During questions & answer session, someone enquired about the budget of ‘Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad’ which the wasn’t replied positively by the panel.
On another question regarding music, response was; “Shaani has produced the music for ‘Quaid-e-Azam Zinda Bad’ and pretty soon music promotions will start”.
Trailer doesn’t give much away about the story-line, but its on one of the hottest topic being discussed all around from top to bottom i.e. ‘Corruption’. Fahad Mustafa will sharing the screen mostly and will be accompanied by cute looking Mahira Khan who wouldn’t be doing much rather than showing off her beautiful face. From trailer I can safely say that, Mahira Khan wont be leaving much of of an impact, and Fahad Mustafa will dominate with his charisma, skills and larger than life character. One character do reminds me of Asif Ali Zardari. Let hope that censor-board stays cool on it. Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad seems like a better movie as compared to other Eid-ul-Ahda’s local release, but will not fare better then London Nahi Jauga.
