When Pakistani actors, Bilal Ashraf (Janaan, Superstar) and Maya Ali (Teefa in Trouble, Mann Mayal, Diyar-e-Dil), join forces on a project, success is inevitable. These two luminous stars are now set to ignite the screen in KHAN TUMHARA, a film poised to bring fresh energy and groundbreaking impact to Pakistani cinema, and the teaser has now been unveiled.
Directed by the masterful Ehteshamuddin (Superstar, Udaari, Sadqay Tumhare) and penned by visionary writer, Mustafa Afridi, the film is produced by Momina Duraid (Parwaaz Hai Junoon, Superstar, Sadqay Tumhare) at MD Productions; Bilal Ashraf; and Ehteshamuddin at Behive Transmedia. KHAN TUMHARA is a riveting blend of high-octane action, heartfelt romance and raw emotion. At its core is Yusuf Khan, a complex hero entangled in the brutal pull of power, love and vengeance.
Khan Tumhara was shot using multiple cameras and techniques to capture the very essence of up-close action, with special attention paid to every stage of production. The action team led by Nick Khan and Hussain Abdullah, known for their work on projects like Skyfall and Marvel Eternals, was flown into Pakistan to film the action sequences. The preparation was grueling for the lead actors. This dedication was exemplified by Maya’s consistency, hardwork and dedication and Bilal’s unbreakable resilience, who pushed through multiple injuries to complete filming. The results of this commitment are visible on screen, as no body doubles were used for Bilal. Audiences will see him fighting and performing all of his own stunts in every action sequence. Each scene was then crafted meticulously and took approximately 70 days to shoot – a first for Pakistani cinema. This international team also trained the local crew for several months, not to emulate Hollywood, but to develop a unique cinematic language that was raw and unforgiving. Furthermore, the visual effects team, led by Haider at Softmatrix, worked endlessly to deliver world-class post-production. Every frame reflects meticulous craftsmanship; technical precision; and international production standards, resulting in visuals that are nothing short of breathtaking.
Director, Ehteshamuddin, says, “For years, Pakistani cinema has flirted with action but we have never truly let it bleed. KHAN TUMHARA is our answer to that hesitation. Yusuf Khan is not a hero you cheer for from a safe distance; he is the man who drags you into the dust with him where love is a wound; power is a poison; and vengeance is the only prayer left. This is our story, told with our sweat; our scars; our stubborn refusal to look away.”
Actor and producer, Bilal Ashraf, says, “This was more than a film; it was a lifetime education in the craft, paid for with blood, sweat and tears. It has become the benchmark against which I’ll measure every project I ever do from hereon. This journey is dedicated to my late mother and sister, and I am forever thankful to everyone who has been part of this project.”
Producer, Momina Duraid, says, “KHAN TUMHARA has something for everyone. A mix of action, romance and comedy. It offers full family entertainment for all age groups.”
Actor, Maya Ali, says, “Some projects truly stay close to your heart. KHAN TUMHARA is one of them. From planning to pack-up, I had the privilege of witnessing this journey up close. It’s been an honour working with the finest director and actor, Ehtesham Bhai, and the amazing Bilal Ashraf – a brilliant actor; a wonderful human being; and now an exceptional producer. I am incredibly proud to be part of this film and can’t wait for everyone to experience the action and emotion of KHAN TUMHARA this Eid ul Adha.”
Adding another layer of excitement is the film’s soundtrack – a bold mix of Urdu, Punjabi and Pushto songs catering to a wider audience. This fusion is set to captivate audiences and dominate playlists.
KHAN TUMHARA is slated to release in May 2026.
