The night of glitz and glamour in Karachi on Sunday, however, turned out to be a disappointment as the whole red carpet affair looked nothing less than a fish market.

'Actor in law' soundtrack launched by Atif Aslam
It seemed that the whole city was invited to have a grand cinematic experience of Nabeel Qureshi's directorial starring Fahad Mustafa, Mehwish Hayat and Om Puri.

We were lucky enough to grab our seats two rows ahead of the rockstar, but some people weren't.

Not just Mahira, this superstar also has a cameo in Actor in Law
Finally the screening began after a delay of 15 minutes while the lead cast was to be seen no where. They walked in after a good 15-20 minutes with a brigade of other celebrities but everyone in the audience was too engrossed in the film to notice their presence by that time.

Suddenly 10 minutes later the lights turned on and the film was paused, first we thought it's a technical glitch but no. Producer Fizza Ali Meerza along with the director announced that they will replay the entire film as some "people" weren't seated properly.
We should accept we are not different from Bollywood: Nabeel Qureshi
The audience resisted but couldn't help it. And there went our cinematic experience down the drain. Especially, since we have had a royal treatment at Janaan's premiere a day before.
It was then that Atif simply walked out for reasons known or unknown.
