Jeewan Hathi, featuring Bulbulay famed Hina Dilpazeer and Indian actor Naseeruddin Shah has caught the eye of many in the past few weeks.

Directed by the makers of Zinda Bhaag Meenu Gaur and Farjad Nabi, Written by Fasih Bari Khan, the film is part of a Pak-India collaboration initiated by Zee Zindagi called Zeal for Unity, which unites 12 prolific filmmakers from both sides of the border to come together to make empowering videos showcase their zeal for unity. The films are then screened at various film festivals.

The Meenu and Farjad directorial is a black comedy, which highlights the ludicrous business and subsequent rat race surrounding TV ratings. It has theatre star Fawad Khan, Samiya Mumtaz, Kiran Tabeer and Adnan Jaffer in the movie.

However, what’s surprising is that this cross-border project will not be screened in Indian cinemas as of now, state the producers. (However, it has been screened at film festivals in India).

“All us artists, who are related to creative works, our job isn’t to change anybody, our job is to ignite light in the darkness, in hopes that it may create light… we are just doing that,” Hina tells Images when asked whether Jeewan Hathi may impact relations amidst Pak-India tensions.

She adds, “We ignite the light of our names, of our films and hope that it is enough to pave a path. We’re not here to change anything. We’re just here to spread the love.”

Jeewan Hathi is set to hit screens in Pakistan on Nov 4th.
