Well yesterday i just passed outside the cineplex and was surprised to see a poster of a movie named "Wapsi" under the heading of Coming Attractions!
Well i dunt know anythin abut this movie!
Well is it a suspense thriller?I wuld love to watch it if it is and its good tht Universe Cineplex has started to show Urdu Movies from now!!!!!
Well on which channel did u saw the trailer?

never heard plzz let us know the channel or official website from where we can see or donwload its trailor

Couple of months ago I did mention this film. You will need to dig out the old thread on this film.

I did read something on this film couple of days ago again that the film is being made in 4 languages which are Urdu, Arabic, Farsi and English.

The director is Majid Abdul Razzaq. The producer is Shehzad Gul. Lyrics and dialogues by Aqeel Ruby. Music by Wajahat Attre and Atif Malik cameramen.

This will be Maria Wasti's first feature film.

I am surprised that the being an Evernew production then why has Shehzad Gul kept things very quiet.

yeah..i read about the movie too..! TV legends are in the movie like Shakeel, Abid Ali etc...

Sounds Nice...!

MR NICE:

Anyone knows its rls date?

It is supposed to be released next year and i watched the trailor on CNBC Pakistan... they air a show on Lollywood
i do not know the time..
in 4 languages.. THEY HAVE GONE MAD!

I hear that this film is releasing on 8th December

this film is based on the classic tale called The count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas.This story was origianly based on a true story

If it is releasing on Friday, has any promotion started on TV.

I was on shooting of this film in Dubai about 3 years ago. In March 2006 I was at the Editing/Dubbing of this film with my cousin Arbaz (as he is playing villain in it). They have delayed it alot. I think there are some indian actors in it too. And originally the film was named as THE SHEIKH.

And yes the film is releasing this FRIDAY 8th December,06. As far as I know the producer was an ARAB , I dont know how Shehzad Gul became the producer. This Arab guy is a businessman in Dubai. Thats all for now.

Thanks for letting us know.

Do you know why the changed the name of the film

I dont know why they changed the name of the film. I think the original name "THE SHEIKH" might not attract the Lollywood Audience. I m sure the film has different title for different languages. The Sheikh is for English Language. For Farsi and Arabic it has different titles.

Herez the POSTER for it.... MALIK ABDUL RAZZAQ is ARABIAN.

looks good but why there is no publicity and all that i mean i dont even know that this movie is coming out on this friday, chalo gonna watch it on first day hopefully.

looks like alot of good actors are init like faisal rehman, maria wasti, imran abbas and mona lisa who never work in films so it should be good,

Well Faisal rehman started his career in films in the early 1980s and he had a record 7 or 8 consecutive hits. He acted in about in about 20 odd films and was successful before at the end of the 1980s he moved Canada.

Since coming in the mid 1990s he has acted in TV plays mostly except for couple of films one being Shaan's Guns and Roses.

Waapsi does like a good film. What will be interesting is how closely is the film based on the original story.

Well thnx for sharing the poster..i saw it in Jang it was big enough so it may had caught da attention of the readers and Jang is the most read newspapaer too!
But why there is no publicity?
Well the film mite flop becuz it will be screened at Prince Cinema,at which families dont go often.Families go to Universe Cineplex becuz thts a Familie-Only Cinema!Well when i visted to cineplex to watch Tarap they had the poster of Waapsi in the Coming Attractions!But now i dont know why they have backed out!
If thiz film is rlsed in Cineplex probably it will do business...the AAM Awam wont like it becuz its an novel film and dosent have the masala which usually our local movies does....
But abhi bhi time hai...if they only show trailers of the movie on GEO AND AAJ they can improve thier business!

Wapsi’s premiere held



Staff Reporter

LAHORE: A new Urdu film Wapsi (The Return) by Everest Pictures will be screened at different cinemas of the City from December 8, said producer Shahzad Gull at a local hotel Tuesday.

He was addressing an introductory ceremony of the film. Renowned film star Mustafa Qureshi, Shamyl Khan, director Majid Abdul Razak, distributor Ataullah Farooqi and Professor Aqeel Roobi also spoke on the occasion.

Shahzad Gull said that this will be an entirely different movie and he was hopeful that it would be a box office hit movie. Gull said that the story of the films is adapted from the classic novel "The Count of Monte Cristo" written by Alexander Dumas.

Film director Majid Abdul Razak from Dubai who has not only written the story but also performed a leading role in the movie said that the movie cost Rs 50 million. He said that they had shot it both at Pakistan and United Arab Emirates (UAE).

He said that picturisation and sound quality of the film were very good.

well let me tell u one thing that either its releasing in cineplex or not wont make any difference, for the time being it is releasing in prince cinema only(talking abt karachi)but if the movie is good its gonna catch the attention of the viewers for sure i still remember yeh dil apka huwa was released in only two theaters in karachi but just after one week the film was on in four major theaters so word of mouth can make a huge difference but it all depend on the quality of the movie.

hm..so it's finally gonna b out..! let's hope that it turns out to be a massive hit like other shahzad gul movies. Remember Tere Pyar Mein, there were no major advertisements, no posters but it eventually turned out to be biggest hit of 2000.
I m not sure where are they showing this in Rawalpindi??

Well here is the list of cinemas on which Waapsi will be shown:

Prince-Karachi
Bambino-Hyderabad
Empire,Sozo World-Lahore
PAF-Rawalpindi
Prince-Gujranwala
Dreamland-Multan
Shaheen-Sargodha

Daily 3,6 and 9 PM
