Actor Ahmed Ali Butt, who is the son of Noor Jehan's daughter Zille Huma has filed a case against his late uncle Asghar Hussain Rizvi for not giving his mother's share in the family's mutually owned property, Shahnoor Studio.
The Jawani Phir Nahi Ani actor filed the case in a civil court in Lahore. According to the court proceedings, Justice Naveed Anjum presided over the case and ordered the defendant Asghar Hussain Rizvi to respond by August 17.
It is however pertinent to mention that both Zille Huma and Asghar Hussain Rizvi passed away years ago.
The studio that was once flooded with film stars and shooting equipment now has only one floor allocated to film works. The rest of Shahnoor studio space has been rented out to various vendors and shop owners.
