Jan Rambo is a film star from Pakistan who has worked in hundreds of films. He was prinarily known for his comic timing and dancing skills. His wife Sahiba is also a film star and they worked together in the last days of the industry. He was a guest on Javeria Saud’s show Javeria Reloaded and spoke about TV industry’s discrimination.

Jan Rambo is also among the list of stars who shifted from film to television. He has worked in several dramas but we mostly saw him doing comedy characters. He is now speaking about how he has missed out on real characters since the shift.

The actor said that in older times Javed Sheikh and Nadeem Baig were true stars of the story as they got character roles. They were youngsters who either danced or did fight scenes. Now when their time came, the film industry collapsed. He is not happy as he does not get proper roles to play from the television industry’s side. He still had energy to work and wished he got better roles.

Pakistan’s cinematic blockbuster, ‘The Legend of Maula Jatt,’ has premiered in China, underscoring a pivotal moment in cultural partnership between the two nations.

An official statement from the Pakistan Embassy in China highlighted that the film’s launch constitutes a historic advance in bilateral cinematic collaboration. The statement further noted that Pakistan’s Ambassador to China, Khalil Hashmi, extended congratulations to filmmaker Bilal Lashari for this groundbreaking accomplishment and conveyed gratitude to the China Film Administration, the China Film Import and Export Corporation, and the China Film Group for their essential support in presenting the film to Chinese audiences.

“Hashmi noted that the release of the film coincided with celebrations marking 75 years of diplomatic relations between Pakistan and China, saying that the film offered Chinese audiences a unique opportunity to experience the richness and vibrancy of Pakistani cinema while reflecting the spirit of mutually beneficial cooperation between the film industries of the two countries,” the statement said.

The ambassador further added that the film’s release followed the Film Co-Production Agreement signed in June 2024 between Pakistan’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the China Film Administration. “The agreement aims to promote exchanges between filmmakers and encourage joint productions that resonate with audiences in both countries,” he said.

According to the statement, Hashmi said the country had over 200 million telecom subscribers, more than 200 television channels, and state-of-the-art cinema infrastructure. He also underscored Pakistan’s growing international recognition in the film industry, with Pakistani filmmakers recently receiving accolades at the SCO Film Festival in China.

The ambassador noted that the premiere of the film was not only a proud recognition of Pakistani creative talent but also an important step forward in deepening cultural and people-to-people exchanges between Pakistan and China.

“He expressed confidence that more Pakistani films would reach Chinese audiences, while more Chinese films would find a home in Pakistan, further strengthening the All-Weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership between the two countries,” the statement added.

The statement further stated that the screening of the film represented a significant new chapter in Pakistan-China cultural cooperation and underscored the shared commitment of both countries to fostering deeper understanding through artistic and cinematic exchange.

Speaking to journalists at the movie’s premiere in London, Mobeen was asked if the project served as a response to the Indian propaganda film, to which she said it should be defined by external comparisons instead.

“It’s a disservice to think of this movie as response to another film,” Mobeen said. She added that the movie’s core was extremely special as makers explored a number of themes including women in sports.

Directed by Abu Aleeha, Mera Lyari follows the lives of female footballers in Lyari, focusing on the hardships faced by women pursuing careers in sports.

“There are so many layers in this story so watching the film from one angle would be injustice. We all should watch this movie from bird’s eye view. It’s a beautiful film, it’s a beautiful image of Lyari,” Mobeen said when asked about comparisons between her new movie and the Bollywood flick that presented a fictitious version of the Lyari gang war.

The actress also spoke about her experience filming in the Karachi neighbourhood, noting that she felt welcomed. “I didn’t feel that there’s something totally different as Pakistan overall is a very hospitable country,” she said.

While fans are praising Mobeen’s maturity, saying she “speaks sense”, the actor’s red-carpet attire has also drawn attention for its cultural symbolism.

Wearing a traditional Baloch shalwar paired with a structured corset featuring illustrations of girls playing football, Mobeen also had jewelry and nail art specifically referencing Lyari and her character Afsana Baloch.
