The much anticipated movie, ‘Parde Mein Rehne Do’ starring Hania Aamir and Ali Rehman for the first time as the leading pair, saw the release of its trailer and three songs amidst much excitement in a star-studded affair, held recently in Karachi.
The plot for the film addresses a societal issue faced by almost every newly married couple in Pakistan; the pressure to start their own family without being given a chance to enjoy and explore their life together. The film appears to tackle the issue of infertility and how a Pakistani couple deals with it. Director, Wajahat Rauf has addressed this prevalent issue in his uniquely humorous way with this movie, and the perfect choice of actors brought the characters to life.
The event was hosted by Dananeer Mobeen, where she introduced the director, producer and cast. The powerful soundtrack, directed by Hassan Ali and Aashir Wajahat left the audience enthralled. Speaking on the occasion, the lead actor Ali Rehman, commented, “It was such a great experience shooting with an amazing team. I’m so proud of this project because not only is it a labour of love, which we worked very hard to shoot during a pandemic, but more importantly it addresses the stigma attached to accepting certain social issues that can have an impact on society.”
“The movie is very close to my heart. Because of how beautifully it has been written and how effortlessly Mohsin has talked about a hushed subject and translated it with such care while incorporating elements of humour. This film is warm, responsible, and funny,” stated the leading lady of the film Hania Aamir.
While, Wajahat Rauf expressed, “For me, it is special because it addresses an important social issue. I hope to make more films that give out a positive message along with entertaining people.”
