The much-awaited
screening of The Reluctant Fundamentalist finally took place in Lahore on
Thursday evening, amidst amplified curiosity and excitement.
Before the show,
cast member singer-actor Meesha Shafi posted, “Can’t wait to watch it with my
friends and family,” on Twitter, adding later that she wished her “lovelies” –
director Mira Nair and actor Riz Ahmed – were in the walled city to watch the
premiere show.
While the foreign
cast and crew members could not make it to the Lahore show, Nair was busy
promoting the film earlier this month in Mumbai, where celebs including
Priyanka Chopra attended. The Cinestar event in Lahore, which was co-hosted by
HKC and Encyclomedia PR, was attended by TRF author Mohsin Hamid, Meesha Shafi,
Atif Aslam, Ali Zafar, Cybil Chowdhry and many others.
