Hasan Raheem’s ‘Peechay Hutt’ is reportedly part of ‘Ms Marvel’
Looks like there’s a lot for Pakistanis to love in the upcoming Ms Marvel series! Apart from featuring our very own actors, including Nimra Bucha and Fawad Khan, and the titular character being a Pakistani-American superhero, the soundtrack of the series also features one of the most popular songs of the year! According to reports, the series includes Hasan Raheem, Talal Qureshi and Justin Bibi’s hit Coke Studio track Peechay Hutt.
Journalist Haroon Rashid recently shared a picture with the cast members on Twitter, writing, “LOVED the first 2 eps of Ms Marvel. This is the South Asian [representation] I want to see. Sugar-coated saunf, dialogue about SRK’s best film, a soundtrack including Hasan Raheem’s Peechay Hutt. Kamala Khan is unapologetically brown and I LOVE IT.”

She added, "The Walt Disney Company and Marvel Studios have a special announcement to make. Marvel Studios' new original series Ms Marvel will be released exclusively in cinemas only in Pakistan, through their licensee HKC Entertainment."
The Saving Face director then revealed, "Disney and Marvel will be especially creating a cinema format version of the six-episode series for Pakistan, split into three parts as follows: Episode 1, 2 will debut on 16th June, Episodes 3, 4 will debut on 30th June and Episodes 5, 6 will debut on 14th July.
