Cast however is yet to be finalized but according to Jabbar it will constitute youngsters so it wont be surprising to see some debuts.
The film will go on floors by summers next year and is planned to have a 2020 release. It makes sense then that fans have been suggesting Mikaal Zulfikar-Sanam Saeed or Mikaal-Sanam Baloch, conjuring up images from the former jodi's highly successful UFone ads or the latter jodi’s superb chemistry in Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan. The film will be directed by Haissam Hussain of Dastaan, Dureshawar and Aunn Zara fame and produced by Mera Naam Yousuf Ha producer Sadia Jabbar. Osman-Maya are just the cutest Insiders at the production company also suggested that Balu Mahi is a fun romantic comedy. Well that sounds interesting and relatable for major portion of our society. Ainy Jaffri, Osman Khalid Butt to star in upcoming film Balu Mahi Actor Ainy Jaffri and Aunn Zara star Osman Khalid Butt have been finalized as leads in upcoming rom-com Balu Mahi. Talking about content of the film she revealed that the storyline depicts dreams and desires of Pakistani society and is going to be content driven with a high entertainment level, also highlighting Pakistani middle class’s issues we all are aware of. “The story is about dreams and desires of Pakistani middle class” Sadia Jabbar is now planning a return to cinema medium with second feature film titled “Middle Class ” which she revealed while talking to “Images”. While the film managed to bring all the fresh feel to the cinema screen, it bombed at box office namely because of a cliche plot and un suitable release time.
