Friday, 24 August 2018 11:55

A List stars of Pakistani cinema descended upon London for the European Red Carpet Premiere of the highly anticipated film Parwaaz Hai Junoon at The May Fair Hotel, ahead of its release on 24th August 2018.

A story of youth, courage, love and patriotism, Parwaaz Hai Junoon is a rousing tribute to Pakistan’s Air Force, produced by Momina & Duraid Films and HUM Films in association with the Pakistan Air Force and written by author and screenwriter Farhat Ishtiaq (Bin Roye). Parwaaz Hai Junoon marks the second production from Momina Duraid, the force behind 2015’s critically acclaimed film Bin Roye, one of Pakistan’s biggest international hits, particularly in the UK.

The formidable cast of the film, which include Hania Amir, superstar Hamza Ali Abbasi, and rising star Ahad Raza Mir, were in attendance along with the producer Momina Duraid. The red carpet was followed by an exclusive screening of the film which received a rapturous applause from all present.

A unique tribute to Pakistan’s Air Force, who worked with the filmmakers on the creation of the film, Parwaaz Hai Junoon promises to depict the daily lives of cadets at a typical Air Force Academy, as they laugh, make mistakes and develop the core values of integrity, courage and honour. The film follows Sania (Hania Amir), a young cadet who must fight against preconceived notions of gender roles to pursue her dream of becoming an ace pilot.

Answering a question on her own reaction to the film, Hania Amir said: “I went into Parwaaz Hai Junoon when I was 19 and looking back I feel it’s the best decision that I ever made. It was like a personal moment of truth; a challenge to find how much I could do as a lead actress. Thank you to the Momina ji and the producers for giving me this opportunity of a lifetime”.
