Further to the breaking news about the release of the Mohit Suri-directed Awarapan in Pakistan, we have an update that the film will hit cinemas in Pakistan on July 6, a week after its worldwide release.
According to Sohail Khan, the film's executive producer in Pakistan, "This is a great moment for us. Everyone here looks forward to quality Bollywood products and watches them on cable and on DVD. Now they will have the opportunity to watch it on the big screen."
Khan added that Awarapan would release in key cities like Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi, to name a few, on as many as 15-17 prints.
Director Mohit Suri remarked, "I feel proud of Awarapan crossing the border. That was the underlying theme of the film. The walls have been broken and I am looking forward to the response from the Pakistani audience."

WE bring you an exclusive statement written by Pakistani rock sensation, Mustafa Zahid, post the announcement that Mahesh Bhatt’s Awarapan will release theatrically in Pakistan, creating a history of sorts. Previously scheduled to release on July 6, the film, it seems, will now hit screens across Pakistan on July 13, as director Mohit Suri felt that the next week should be used to promote the release aggressively in Pakistan.
The 24-year old Roxen vocalist, Mustafa Zahid, who has rendered the chartbusters To Phir Aao and Tera Mera Rishta in Awarapan, in a statement, said: “I saw Awarapan on Saturday in Mumbai despite the raging monsoon. Not because I’ve sung for it, but I honestly believe that it’s among the finest movies to come out of Bollywood in recent times. As a citizen of Lahore, I would love to see every Pakistani going out to watch Awarapan in cinemas. I am a Muslim and this movie has portrayed an accurate picture of my community, who believe in one God and also in the fact that if you free someone God comes to you and helps in adversity. We are ready to be the first in Pakistan and I am proud to be a part of Bollywood history in my own little way.”
