SCREENGRAB
Shaan Shahid, Humaima Malick, Mohib Mirza and Uzma Hassan starrer, Arth - The Destination is all set to hit theatres worldwide next week.
While we anxiously wait for Pakistani rendition of Mahesh Bhatt's 1982 classic film, Arth, which starred Shabana Azmi, Kulbhushan Kharbanda and Smita Patel in titular roles, seems like the movie is equally awaited across the border as well.

Original Arth's director, Mahesh Bhatt has been singing praises for the remake of his movie and it wasn't any different this time either.
Arth - The Destination's latest song, Murshed Ji, sung by the maestro Rahat Fateh Ali Khan was revealed yesterday and we loved it!
And so did the Bollywood ace film-maker.
Lauding Rahat and the composer of the song, Sahir Ali Bagga, the Murder director took to Twitter and wrote, "SENSATIONAL! Rahat Bhai and Bagga come together and set the screen ablaze. Shaan staggers you with his animal vitality!"

Watch the video of the song here:
The remake is a contemporary retelling of the original story and will be set in Lahore. The idea materialised into a film after Shaan met Mahesh Bhatt in 2015 and expressed his desire to remake the film for Pakistani audiences.
“Arth is the first film with the DNA of an Indian story to be set in Pakistan. If we want to strengthen film trade between our countries, Arth’s model is a great way of collaborating,” Shaan previously said.
