Nabeel Qureshi Announces ‘Na Baligh Afraad’ Featuring Younger Actors

Comedy lovers should circle Eidul Azha on their calendars for something to look forward to beyond the festivities of the busy day. Screenwriter and director Nabeel Qureshi, known for crafting light-hearted yet thought-provoking films such as “Actor in Law” and “Load Wedding,” announced the release of a brand-new film this Eidul Azha: “Na Baligh Afraad.”

Nabeel made the announcement on his Instagram handle, showcasing an old VHS tape bearing the title of the upcoming film with the tagline, “From the makers of Na Maloom Afraad, Na Baligh Afraad.” Although he kept the plot details tightly under wraps, the cast followed suit, sharing the same image on their own Instagram handles, eager to share the exciting news with their fans and followers.

Actors in Nabeel Qureshi’s New Film

Actors Samar Jafri, Aashir Wajahat, and Rimha Ahmad all shared the same VHS poster on their Instagram, with Rimha captioning, “Super excited to be able to share this news with all of you! Na Baligh Afraad. Releasing this Eid-ul-Azha!!” followed by a party emoji. The comments section wherever the poster was shared consisted of words of encouragement and excitement, with fans across the board expressing sentiments such as “Can’t wait!” and “So excited for this!”

Nearly ten years ago, in October 2014, Nabeel made his directorial debut with Na Maloom Afraad, an action-comedy comprising a script that was years in the making. Shot in Karachi, the film was one of the few to be developed entirely in Pakistan. Na Maloom Afraad starred Javed Sheikh, Fahad Mustafa, Mohsin Abbas Haider, and boasted a supporting cast featuring Urwa Hocane, Kubra Khan, and Salman Shahid. The film followed the hijinks of Shakeel (played by Javed), Farhaan (Fahad) and Moon (Mohsin) who crave incredible riches and predictably land in mounting trouble as they battle their way through any means to get their hearts’ desires, to comic effect.

Three years after releasing “Na Maloom Afraad,” the sequel “Na Maloom Afraad 2” brought back some of the original cast while moving the story to South Africa. Now, with “Na Baligh Afraad” on the horizon, the cast boasts fresh new faces. Fans eagerly await to see if the new installment will live up to the comedic standards set by “Na Maloom Afraad” and “Na Maloom Afraad 2.”
