"t’s definitely going to be a blockbuster."
Fahad Mustafa and Mahira Khan are returning to the big screen together in Aag Lagay Basti Mein, a romantic comedy action film set for Eid-ul-Fitr 2026.
The film has already generated strong buzz after its trailer was unveiled at a star-studded event in Karachi on February 9, 2026.
Produced by Big Bang Entertainment and Salman Iqbal Films, the project marks another high-profile collaboration within mainstream Pakistani cinema.
Directed by Bilal Atif Khan, the film features an ensemble cast including Tabish Hashmi, Javed Sheikh, Salahudin Tanyo, Aadi Adeal Amjad, and Samra Shehzadi.
The shooting of Aag Lagay Basti Mein has officially wrapped, with the team now gearing up for its festive theatrical release.
The trailer opens with Mahira Khan’s character, Almas, urging her husband to commit a robbery, immediately setting a chaotic tone.
Fahad Mustafa plays Barkat, who firmly responds that he would rather die than consume money earned through theft.
What follows is a rapid montage of domestic arguments, everyday struggles, and escalating tension between the couple as morality clashes with desperation.
Almas persistently tempts Barkat to abandon honesty, while he continues resisting.
Soon after, we see Barkat being accused of theft at his workplace, implying that he listened to his wife.
The arguments with Almas intensify as Barkat questions whether robbery and theft were still not enough for his endlessly dissatisfied wife.
In a moment of bitter sarcasm, he asks her if she would prefer selling him next, revealing his growing frustration.
The narrative takes a sharp turn with the introduction of Tabish Hashmi’s character Chota Saab, portrayed as a quirky yet dangerous gangster.
Barkat somehow becomes entangled with Chota Saab, forcing him and Almas into a desperate attempt to escape.
The trailer shows the couple fleeing their home, gunshots echoing as chaos erupts around them.
In its final moments, Barkat is seen holding a shotgun while Almas clings to him as he warns unseen enemies to stay back.
The fast-paced trailer has been widely praised for its energy, sharp editing, and blend of comedy with action-driven tension.
Fans expressed excitement at seeing familiar television personalities and digital creators sharing space with established film stars.
One viewer wrote:
“I am surprised to see Tabish Hashmi. This is going to be entertaining!”
Another fan confidently commented: “With Mahira and Fahad, it’s definitely going to be a blockbuster.”
However, not all reactions were entirely positive, with some audiences questioning the reliance on familiar celebrity faces.
A critical viewer joked: “Thanks for showing the complete film in the trailer!”
Another blunt comment stated: “We need new faces, not the old recycled ones.”
Despite mixed opinions, Aag Lagay Basti Mein has undeniably succeeded in sparking conversation ahead of its release.
