The Pakistan Pavillion installed at the Dubai Expo 2020 has been the talk of the town for a few months now. We have seen many celebrities being involved in the festivities from music director Rohail Hayat making the soundtrack to many actors showcasing their brands there.

And just yesterday (January 20) Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry took to Twitter to inform the public of 11 Pakistani films that will be showcased at the Dubai Expo starting tomorrow, that is January 22 to February 26.

Here is the film selection that will be featured:

January 21: Teefa in Trouble (2018), which is a romantic action film and was the directorial debut for Ahsan Rahim under his banner Tadpole Films. The movie stars Maya Ali and Ali Zafar, who also appeared on the big screen for the first time.

January 22: Load Wedding also from 2018 was a romantic comedy, co-written by director Nabeel Qureshi and the producer, Fizza Ali Meerza. The film was produced under the banner of Filmwala Pictures. It stars Fahad Mustafa and Mehwish Hayat.

January 29: Parey Hut Love or stay away love was released in 2019 and was also a romantic comedy like Load Wedding. It features Sheheryar Munawar opposite Maya Ali. The movie had a star studded cast with singers Jimmy Khan and Rachel Viccaji also starring in the movie. It seemed like Pakistan’s answer to Om Shanti Om, with cameos from the likes of Ahmed Ali Akber, Cybil Chowdary, Sonya Jehan and even heartthrobs Mahira Khan and Fawad Khan.

January 30: Actor in Law was released in 2016 and was a comedy centred around the social woes of the country. It was the first movie to come out of the Nabeel Qureshi and Fizza Ali Meerza duo.
