Humayun Saeed’s Grand Get-Together to Celebrate Pakistani Cinema

Humayun Saeed, one of the biggest names of the Pakistani film industry, celebrated his birthday this year in a unique manner. The star is known for his lavish birthday bashes thrown every year with the who’s who of the industry in attendance. This year was no different, however Humayun added an extra touch to it, which made the event special not for just Humayun himself, but also for his colleagues from the film fraternity.

Humayun, who had been traveling extensively for the international promotions of his movie Bin Roye, was in no mood for arranging a birthday party this year since his busy schedule now includes the post production and marketing of his upcoming home production Jawani Phir Nahin Aani. However, on the insistence of his family, the actor decided to organize a get together at his house which was not just to celebrate his birthday but also the successful revival of Pakistani cinema. The actor dedicated the evening to all directors and cast/crew members who are working on various anticipated upcoming Pakistani movies.

Incidentally, it was also the birthday of Yasir Nawaz (director of recent blockbuster Wrong Number and a close friend of Humayun’s) on 25^th July. Humayun suggested that the GT be arranged on that specific date so that Yasir can also be included in the cake cutting. The birthday cake itself was custom made and featured posters of Pakistani movies Bin Roye, Yalghaar, Jawaani Phir Nahin Ani, Wrong Number, Dekh Magar Pyaar Se, Kambakht, Moor, Ho Mann Jahaan and Karachi se Lahore.
