Naseerudin Shah in Pakistani film Zinda Bhaag
MUMBAI: Much to the astonishment of the scores of Pakistani film and music artistes, veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah promptly went to the neighbouring land to finish a film titled Zinda Bhaag that centres around the desperate urge of youth to find a better life abroad.
Shah plays an agent involved in illegal immigration. “He has different illegal businesses and one of them is to give hope of a dream life to youth, and (he) coaxes youngsters into giving him all their money.
The actor returned to India recently after completing a seven-day spell of shooting. Earlier last month, he had visited Lahore to familiarise himself with the city and also to conduct a week-long workshop with a group of newcomers who were acting in a film for the first time in their life.
This is not the first time that Shah is doing a Pakistani film. Earlier, he played a key role in the 2007 made film, Khuda Ke Liye.
The film revolves around the youngsters’ urge to find a short cut to a life abroad. Hence it has been aptly titled Zinda Bhaag. The film has been co-directed by Indian-born Meenu Gaur and Farjad Nabi and produced by Mazhar Zaidi.

Dhurandhar returns to theatres worldwide on March 13 ahead of Dhurandhar The Revenge release
Jio Studios re-releases blockbuster across 500 screens globally before sequel
MUMBAI: The spy saga of Dhurandhar is gearing up for a big-screen encore before its next chapter arrives.
Ahead of the release of Dhurandhar The Revenge on March 19, Jio Studios and B62 Studios are bringing the original Dhurandhar back to cinemas worldwide in a rare international theatrical re-release.
The global blockbuster is returning across nearly 500 screens, including around 250 in India from March 12 and another 250 overseas beginning March 13.
For fans of the franchise, the move offers a chance to revisit the film that ignited the high-octane spy-action universe just days before the sequel lands in theatres. It also sets up a rare back-to-back big-screen experience, allowing audiences to relive the original before diving straight into the next chapter.
While re-releases of popular films are occasionally seen in India, international re-runs of Hindi films remain uncommon. The scale of the rollout reflects the growing global appetite for the franchise.
In North America alone, Dhurandhar will return to theatres across nearly 185 screens, highlighting the strong anticipation surrounding the upcoming sequel.
The excitement is set to build further with special Wednesday premiere shows of Dhurandhar The Revenge scheduled across the US and Canada on March 18, a day ahead of its global release. Many of these premieres will be hosted on premium large format screens, featuring wall-to-wall displays, immersive sound systems such as Dolby Atmos, enhanced projection and luxury seating.
These formats are typically reserved for major Hollywood event films, and early bookings suggest strong demand with several shows already sold out.
The recently released trailer of Dhurandhar The Revenge has also sparked buzz among exhibitors and trade circles, with expectations running high for the film’s international performance.
Dhurandhar The Revenge is written, directed and produced by Aditya Dhar. The film is produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar.
Jio Studios presents a B62 Studios production, an Aditya Dhar film.
The spy-action thriller will release worldwide on March 19, 2026, in five languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
The film arrives in theatres globally on the occasion of Gudi Padwa and Ugadi, just ahead of Eid, setting the stage for a festive box office run.
