The ban on Bollywood movies has provided the local film industry with the opportunity to make the most of it. While we can’t say for sure how much their efforts have yielded fruit, Lollywood is pretty much going full-steam ahead. Actress Ghana Ali certainly seems to think so.
The year 2020 looks jam-packed, with over ten Pakistani films already announced for release next year.
The list has a new member and this time it is the lovely Ghana Ali and the handsome Emmad Irfani teaming up. Their next film “Gawah Rehna” will begin shooting in October this year.

Here’s What Ghana Ali Has to Say About Her Latest Venture
The leading lady of the film Ghana Ali, while talking to a local media outlet hoped that fans will fall in love with her upcoming project.
“It is going to be something that people will love.”
When asked about the reason for signing up the film, the actress said it mostly because of a quality script. She also relished the chance to work with many top actors.
She always wanted to do a film of this kind.
“Absolutely the content. It is about our history, our ancestors, how they dreamt about our future and how they made sacrifices about us. Nobody would want to leave such a project in which there is so much acting margin and there are so many good actors. Then obviously there was history of ancestors in it and I always wanted to do this kind of a project. I think it is an educational film as well. This is a very good time to educate people about our history,” she added.
The cast of the film also includes Turkish actor Mert Sismanlar, Rabya Kulsoom, Faisal Imtiaz, Rehan Nazim and veteran actor Qavi Khan. The film will be released both in Pakistan and Turkey.
