‘Nayab’ Starring Yumna Zaidi Earns Another International Film Festival Spot

Umair Nasir Ali’s Nayab has been officially selected for the South Asian International Film Festival of Florida, as per the list shared on the festival’s official website. The Pakistani sports drama is among 26 films featured at the event, alongside Shivani Mehra’s Me, Raani, Debra Gussin’s This Is Our Time, and Ram Kamal Mukherjee’s Binodiini.

Released in January last year, Nayab stars Yumna Zaidi, Javed Sheikh, and Usama Khan and follows the coming-of-age story of a determined girl striving to break stereotypes in cricket. As per the synopsis, “In the bustling heart of Karachi, a determined girl harbours a dream to shatter stereotypes and play cricket for Pakistan, while her brother, once a rising star himself, grapples with his past.”

Reflecting on its first anniversary, Umair Nasir Ali shared on Instagram, “One year ago, Nayab marked a monumental chapter in my journey as a filmmaker. My first feature film, a story that felt right, that resonated deeply.” He added, “I was fortunate to have incredible collaborators, too many to name, but each person took this project as their own.”

Thanking Vertical Cinema for celebrating the milestone, he concluded, “It’s moments like this that remind me why we do what we do.”
