Pakistani stars Mahira, Fahad bring ‘Tom and Jerry’ slapstick to upcoming Eid flick
KARACHI: Pakistani acting powerhouses Mahira Khan and Fahad Mustafa are set to mark their return on the silver screen this Eid Al-Fitr with “Aag Lagay Basti May,” with the actress describing their chemistry as somewhat similar to popular cartoon characters Tom and Jerry.
The film stars Khan and Mustafa in lead roles, with the latter essaying “Barkat,” an honest man who cringes at the very thought of crime and theft. Khan plays Almas, his partner, who has had enough of his honesty and wants to live a life of crime, and savor the spoils that come with it.
Written and directed by filmmaker Bilal Atif Khan, the film has been produced by ARY Films, Salman Films and also Mustafa. It stars veteran actor Javed Sheikh and popular comedian Tabish Hashmi in key roles.
The film revolves around Almas and Barkat as they turn to petty crimes to improve their standard of living. The couple partakes in crime, mostly at Almas’ prodding, and find themselves in hilarious situations. However, the plot thickens when crime bosses played by Sheikh and Hashmi get involved in the mix.
