LAHORE: Actors Hareem Farooq and Ali Rehman Khan are back together on the silver screen in IRK Films and Arif Lakhani Films upcoming movie Heer Maan Ja whose first teaser was launched on Wednesday. The film releases worldwide on Eidul Azha.

A press release states that Heer Maan Ja has been directed by Azfar Jafri, who has previously directed Siyaah, Janaan, Parchi and Sherdil, and penned by debutant Owais Korai Baloch.

Besides the lead pair, the teaser also shows glimpses of the star-studded cast of the film that includes Ali Kazmi, Aaminah Sheikh, Sami Khan, Saleem Mairaj, Ahmed Ali Akbar, Mojiz Hasan, Faizan Sheikh, Shamyale Nasir and Abid Ali in pivotal roles. The film also marks the big screen comeback of ‘90s Lollywood starlet Zara Sheikh.

With some hilarious sequences, rapid pace and catchy tunes, the first look of the movie takes you into the topsy-turvy world of RJ Heer (Farooq) and Kabir (Khan), who is an architect and a super confident, go-getter who constantly runs into bad luck. Thus begins the roller-coaster ride of the two.

“With Heer Maan Ja we have made sure we leave no stone unturned to give paisa vasool entertainment to our audience right from the first look of the film,” stated Imran Raza Kazmi, the producer of the film.
