The movie ‘London Nahi Jaunga’ is a romantic comedy with a touch of family drama and, at the same time, lots of passion, intrigue, ambition, and power struggles that encapsulate its journey.

The film stars some of the most powerful names in Pakistani cinema such as Humayun Saeed, Mehwish Hayat, Kubra Khan, Gohar Rasheed, Sohail Ahmed, Vasay Chaudhry, and Saba Hameed. It is produced by Salman Iqbal, Humayun Saeed, Shehzad Nasib and Jerjees Seja. Nadeem Baig is the director of the film. The script is the work of acclaimed writer, Khalil ur Rehman Qamar.

The buzz around the upcoming movie has been electrifying, and it has already garnered a lot of attention with people loving the scale and magnitude that the trailer promises as well as soulful Music to groove to only some of which has been revealed.

Salman Iqbal CEO ARY Group said; “this is the moment that the Pakistani film industry has been waiting for, ever since the pandemic, films in the country have taken a major hit. With the release of ‘London Nahi Jaonga’ we are seeing a much needed resurgence in the industry”.

“We see the release of ‘London Nahi Jaonga’ as a milestone in the industry. Major film releases in the country had come to a halt during the last few years, with little to no expression of art and creativity. ‘London Nahi Jaonga’ with its star studded cast will definitely be a breath of fresh air and open doors for newer releases”, stated the CEO of ARY Network Jerjees Seja on the trailer launch event.

CEO of ARY Network went on to say that; “this film will be a game changer for Pakistani film industry, we have plans for international release as well and this one is going to be one of the biggest release for any Pakistani movie”.

While the much-celebrated director Nadeem Baig observed; “film making is a joy that took a back seat due to COVID in the last four years but, now we are back to it again and I couldn’t be happier with the work we have put in ‘London Nahi Jaunga’. I hope the audiences feel what we are feeling with it!”.

Nadeem Baig stressed on the point that; “this film ‘London Nahi Jaonga’ is not a sequel of Punjab Nahi Jaongi, but is of same genre, which is romantic comedy.” 

Mehwish Hayat lead actress of the film express her views, “it has taken 4 tough years to complete this venture. Every project is different from one another and I can’t wait to give my country this eid-ul-adha gift!”.

Mehwish Hayat all set to steal the limelight with ‘London Nahi Jaonga’, releasing this Eid-ul-Adha.

Male lead of ‘London Nahi Jaonga’ Humayoon Saeed showed his excitement against other two major releases this Eid ul Adha, which are ‘Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad’ and other being an international release ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’. He was confident that Pakistani crowd would opt for local heroes Fahad Mustafa & Humayoon Saeed over Christopher Hemsworth (Thor: Love and Thunder).

Relying to a question on Eid releases, Humayoon Saeed responded by saying; “during these horrid times when only one movie is being released, we are left with no options but to go for Eid release, pretty soon we will be releasing more than one movie / year then we will release part from Eid also and we will be catering to other genres also”.

Replying to another question, of music of ‘London Nahi Jaonga’, he replied; “all songs of the movie are in Punjabi and having said that there are plans for a Punjabi film soon. Dubbing in other languages is also under active consideration”. 

Trailer doesn’t give much away, but is seems more a sequel of some previous movie. If you watch Humayoon Saeed closely you will fell that he seems to start exactly from where he left at prequel. Just by watching Humayoon Saeed with his monologue dialogue delivery, you can safely call this movie Punjab Nahi Jaungi Part 2′ aka London Nahi Jaunga.

Then enters Mehwish Hayat with all of her beauty, charisma, appeal, acting-skills, body-language and effortless dialogue-delivery will put you under her mesmerizing spell for while and once you get over it then will realize that Mehwish Hayat with her star-appeal and on-screen-charisma, will carry this movie entirely on her shoulders.
