Answers

1. The correct answer is d.

The upcoming film, The Martial Artist, starring Shaz Khan in the lead role, is set to hit theatres on Eidul Fitr 2025.

Not only has Shaz Khan taken on the lead role, but he has also written, directed and co-produced the film. The film’s cast includes Sanam Saeed, who portrays his wife, and Faran Tahir, who plays the role of a village elder. Shaz Khan first caught attention in the film industry with his powerful portrayal of Ehsaan in Geo Film’s Moor (2015), which was directed by Jami.

The Martial Artist tells the story of a man from Pakistan who embarks on a journey to make his mark in the world of mixed martial arts.

2. The correct answer is c.

Sikandar, an upcoming film that blends romance, action, and drama, is the right answer. Directed by A. R. Murugadoss, it is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. The film stars Salman Khan in the lead role, supported by a talented cast that includes Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, and Prateik Babbar.

This project marks a reunion for Salman Khan and producer Sajid Nadiadwala, who previously teamed up for the film Kick in 2014. The story of Sikandar revolves around a man who bravely takes on a powerful network of corruption, fighting for the rights of the common man in a society riddled with injustice.

According to director A. R. Murugadoss, “it is not a remake of any existing film and offers a fresh and exciting narrative.”

Just a heads-up: while the movie is set to release worldwide on Eidul Fitr, it will not be available in Pakistan, at least officially. But fans of Hindi cinema and/or Salman Khan will find a way to watch the film.

3. The correct answer is a.

Inspired by the popular 2011 video game Minecraft, the upcoming film stars Jason Momoa and Jack Black in leading roles, alongside a talented cast that features Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, Sebastian Hansen, and Jennifer Coolidge. The plot centres around four misfits who find themselves unexpectedly whisked away through a mysterious portal into a cubic universe where creativity and imagination take centre stage. With no way to return home, they must figure out how to navigate and survive in this extraordinary world, while embarking on an adventurous journey with a skilled crafter named Steve. Adding to the excitement, Jack Black has just released a brand-new original song called ‘I Feel Alive’, which will be part of the film’s official soundtrack.

The film’s director, Jared Hess, recently shared that Black had gone “as method as it gets” during filming, often playing the game in his trailer whenever he had a chance.

4. The correct answer is a.

Directed by Marc Webb and written by Erin Cressida Wilson, Snow White is a live-action reimagining of Disney’s cherished 1937 animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which was inspired by the Brothers Grimm’s fairy tale from 1812. The film features Rachel Zegler in the iconic role of Snow White, with Andrew Burnap and Gal Gadot stepping into key roles. The plot follows the kind-hearted Snow White as she joins forces with seven dwarfs and a brave bandit named Jonathan to rescue her kingdom from the clutches of her evil stepmother.

5. The correct answer is b.

Kabeer is set for a theatrical release on Eidul Fitr 2025. Directed by Neha Laaj, this film stars Meesam Ali, Abbas Ashraf, Sukaina Khan, Adnan Shah Tipu, and Anam Tanveer. Described as the story of an “uncommon gentleman,” the movie promises a mix of thrilling action and a realistic love story.

The other three movies on the list were also Eid releases in previous years.

Money Back Guarantee, which hit cinemas on Eidul Fitr 2023, featured Fawad Khan in the lead, alongside an ensemble cast that included Wasim and Shaniera Akram, Hira Mani, Gohar Rasheed, Javed Sheikh, Ayesha Omar, and Mikaal Zulfiqar. Meanwhile, Na Baligh Afraad, directed by Nabeel Qureshi and produced by Fizza Ali Meerza, premiered on Eidul Azha 2024. That same Eid also saw the release of Abhi, starring Goher Mumtaz alongside Kubra Khan in lead roles.
