Junaid Khan & Amna Ilyas oppose release of ‘Hum Tum Aur Woo’

Junaid Khan and Amna Ilyas have opposed the cinematic release of the telefilm Hum Tum Aur Woo this Eid-ul-Fitr.

They clarified that the project was initially conceived as a telefilm and was never intended for the big screen.

The two stars shared the same message on their social media platforms, initiating legal action.

They highlighted that their agreement with the producer, Noman Khan, was specifically for a telefilm and expect it to remain as such.

Junaid and Amna wrote: “The main reason is that it’s not a cinema feature film, neither it’s produced like a film, neither my agreement with the producer Mr Noman Khan was of a film.

“I signed a telefilm and expect nothing more.”

Both actors explained that despite some technical changes made during production, they chose to overlook them.

Instead, they focused on delivering their best performance.

However, the decision to release the telefilm in cinemas goes against the original intention and agreement.

They emphasised that their objection is not about the quality of the work or the dedication of the team, it is about staying true to the original essence of the script and the commitments made.

Junaid and Amna urged everyone involved in the distribution process to refrain from releasing the telefilm in cinemas, citing it as a breach of trust and contract with the talent.

They further revealed that legal proceedings have been initiated. Any parties involved in breaching the trust may face potential legal action for damages.

Junaid and Amna reiterated their stance, stressing that while they could tolerate changes during production, a theatrical release was unacceptable.

The telefilm Hum Tum Aur Woo also features Raja Yasir, Saad Khan, and Neni Abbasi. Written and directed by Noman Khan, the film delves into the lives of three friends across Pakistan.

The cast and crew’s united front underscores the seriousness of the issue and their commitment to preserving the integrity of the project.

The public has spoken out against it, agreeing with Junaid and Amna’s sentiments.

One person said: “They are right. They got paid for a telefilm, and the producers will make money according to a cinema film, stripping the actors of their due payment.”

Another wrote: “Same thing happened to Saba Qamar. She shot 8969 as a telefilm but they released it in cinemas.

“You guys are doing the right thing by raising your voice. This has to stop happening.”

One commented: “Pakistani entertainment industry is trash. With no morals or values.”
