From packed screenings in London to enthusiastic receptions in New York, Love Guru has managed to resonate with diaspora audiences, further establishing the global potential of Pakistani cinema.
Speaking at an international event, Mahira Khan expressed her excitement and dreams for the film’s future. “I hope this film crosses the Rs1 billion mark,” she said with a smile, urging the crowd to say “Ameen.” Her heartfelt moment received a warm round of applause.
Humayun Saeed, while praising director Nadeem Baig, added with humor, “He’s the best director in Pakistan. He charges me full price, but he’s worth every rupee!”
