Yasir Hussain is also joining the production.
Aima Baig is reportedly set to make her acting debut as one of the female leads in Jawani Phir Nahi Ani 3.
The announcement has generated significant excitement online, with fans flooding social media with enthusiastic reactions.
According to reports, Nadeem Baig is returning as director for the third instalment of the massively popular franchise.
The film will bring back a beloved ensemble cast including Humayun Saeed, Fahad Mustafa, Mehwish Hayat, Ahmed Ali Butt and Vasay Chaudhary.
Yasir Hussain is also joining the production, further expanding what is already a star-studded lineup for the third film.
Aima Baig has spent the last decade establishing herself as one of Pakistan’s most celebrated and recognisable playback singers.
She made her singing debut in 2016 with the film Lahore Se Aagey, lending her voice to the track ‘Kalabaaz Dil’ for the project.
That performance earned her a Lux Style Award for Best Female Singer, announcing her arrival as a major force in Pakistani film music.
She won the same prestigious award again the following year for ‘Sadqa’ from Chupan Chupai, cementing her position at the top of her field.
In 2019, she was honoured with the Tamgha-e-Fakhr-e-Imtiaz in recognition of her significant contribution to the arts in Pakistan.
Baig has also been a consistent and popular presence on Coke Studio Pakistan across multiple seasons of the acclaimed music platform.
She has sung Pakistan Super League anthems alongside celebrated artists including Atif Aslam.
Her playback work spans several major Pakistani films, including Teefa in Trouble and notably Jawani Phir Nahi Ani 2 itself.
She sang ‘Aya Lariye’ for the second instalment of the franchise she is now reportedly joining as an actress.
The Jawani Phir Nahi Ani franchise holds a special and celebrated place in the history of Pakistani commercial cinema.
The first film was released in 2015 and also marked Nadeem Baig’s directorial debut.
It starred Humayun Saeed, Hamza Ali Abbasi, Ahmed Ali Butt, Vasay Chaudhry and Mehwish Hayat.
It went on to become one of the highest-grossing Pakistani films of all time, setting a new benchmark for local commercial cinema.
The sequel Jawani Phir Nahi Ani 2, released in 2018, shattered box office records across Pakistan.
It became the highest-grossing Pakistani film at the time of its release, bringing back much of the original cast alongside several new additions.
Fahad Mustafa, Kubra Khan and Mawra Hocane all joined the returning cast members for the second instalment.
Whether Aima Baig brings the same natural charisma to the screen that she brings to her music yet remains to be seen.
