After the success of their comedy film Na Maloom Afraad, director Nabeel Qureshi-producer Fizza Ali Meerza's next cinematic venture has been highly awaited.

The upcoming flick, Actor-in-Law brings back Na Maloom Afraad co-stars Fahad Mustafa and Mehwish Hayat, who made a special appearance in the film's popular item number Billi.

The movie's cast also includes Alyy Khan, Saboor Ali and Bollywood legend, Om Puri, who Qureshi promises will be around once the movie is released: "Om Puri will be in the country for the premiere, as well as promotions."

When asked about the plot of the film, Qureshi remains characteristically tight-lipped:

"I'm always evasive about my scripts, it's just my style of working. I don't like to talk about things in progress. I will say that it's a social comedy with a very interesting story line. There's many aspects a lot of people will be able to relate to," shares the director.

"We'll be releasing the trailer soon and hopefully, if things remain stable in the country, the movie will be released on Eid this year for sure," he adds.
